<p>I would just like to know how likely it is for me to get scholarships/grants/into the honors program for SEBS.
If so, what scholarships/grants would be available for me?
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t know anything sebs but you be in SAS honors. Probably you’ll get a scarlet scholarship, somewhere between 2500 and 7500 a year. Maybe a Carr.</p>

<p>Bump! If I raise my SAT score to at least a 2250, how likely is it that I get a full scholarship?</p>

<p>Scroll down to Presidential Scholarship - says you need at least a 2250</p>

<p>@jibler
If I get the 2250, would I be a good candidate for the presidential?</p>

6

<p>2250 is the minimum so probably not</p>

<p>i went to community college for two years, got a 4.0 and Associate degree there and landed 8k/year scholarship to Rutgers for the last 2 years of my education. You should do that if you get less than 8k/year.</p>

<p>Two years ago when i talked to admissions, they said you get the presidential if, and only if, you have 2250 or 35/36, AND 4.0 unweighted. This is generally the top 2 to 3% of your class (this one varies slightly). They only look at numbers, nothing else.</p>
