<p>I took the SAT again in June though, so I'm hoping to have gone up a bit.</p>
<p>I have done around 400 hours of community service, and have some leadership positions in clubs at my school.</p>
<p>I have taken most of the honors & AP classes offered at my school. Not many AP classes are offered before senior year though, so I've only taken 1 so far (in my Junior year). I'll be taking 3 or 4 senior year though.</p>
<p>If you can chance me on acceptance as well as scholarship money I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!</p>
<p>You will def. get in. BTW, Rutgers only looks at your GPA and SAT’s nothing more, they really don’t care about community service or activity work. Scholarship I think you will get some, but I don’t think you’ll get the entire package. Scholarships are calculated with your Class rank/percentile and your CR and Math SAT’s. Check the Rutgers website for Freshmen Scholarship it has the list of, if you are in a certain percentile in your school and have a certain SAT score you get X amount of dollars.</p>
<p>But it doesn’t specify that you’ll definitely get X dollars if you have a certain SAT score, GPA, and rank. Were you referring to a different page?</p>
<p>I go to an extremely competitive high school, and sadly I’m most likely going to just miss the top 10% of my class. I know this is going to hurt me for scholarship.</p>
<p>I’m hoping to have gotten my CR closer to 700 in June, but we’ll see.</p>
<p>I don’t think we can verify it with quotes or anything.</p>
<p>Considering it’s a large state school, we just assume that they don’t care about activities. They look over thousands and thousands of applications. Admissions don’t have time to look at one’s application thoroughly – only on academic aspects like GPA, rank, SAT scores.</p>
<p>Activities are still great to have done, though. Really, if you were passionate about a certain club, sport, and/or community service project, by all means include it in your application. It’s not really a waste to have done those things if you actually did them for a purpose and not just to look good for schools.</p>
<p>I think rutgers does look at activities and such particularly when looking to give you scholarships or accept you into the hp. i missed the 1400 mark for the 7500 scholarship, but still received that sum, and I suspect that was due to my various leadership positions in hs. and my friend missed the 10% mark and still was accepted into the hp due to her stellar extracurrics. i was trying to look up that first-year scholarship grid that rutgers had up there, but they’ve since taken it down and revamped the site, unfortunately.</p>
<p>umm i wouldn’t call it a miracle…it was the product of hard work, not luck. i just missed the cutoff by 10 points. and my friend has a pilot license and attends nyu. thanks anyway.</p>
