<p>What are my chances at being accepted into Rutgers Pharmacy, Engineering, and SAS? (Pharmacy is my first choice)</p>

<p>State: NJ (in state)
School type: Large public
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: White European
SAT: 2190 (710 CR, 700 Math, 780 Writing)
ACT: 31 (will probably just send SAT)
AP Scores: US History: 5 Physics B: 4 Psychology: 5 Calculus AB: 5
GPA: 4.7 (weighted. Not sure of unweighted. Mostly honors and AP courses and all A+'s and A's except for an A- in AP US History 2 junior year)
Rank: school doesn't rank. Probably top 10% or at least 20%</p>

<p>Freshmen year: 2 honors courses
Sophomore: 1 AP and 4 honors courses
Junior: 4 AP courses
Senior Schedule: Lit 4 CP, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus BC, AP European History</p>

<p>ECs:
6 years of piano
2 years literary magazine
4 years creative writing club
2 years science league
(not really much here, but I hear Rutgers doesn't weight ECs that much)
Also took a summer course at the community college for Precalculus, so I could take Calc AB as a junior.</p>

<p>What are my chances at the three schools? I'll probably retake the SAT this October just in case.</p>

<p>I don’t think you’ll have any problem getting in any of them</p>

<p>thank you. bump.</p>

<p>Your stats look good :slight_smile: Rutgers won’t pay much attention to your ec’s. Pharmacy will look at your gpa/sat score, rigor of classes, and grades.</p>

<p>Make sure to apply before the early action deadline! Pharmacy is really competitive, good luck!</p>

<p>When will the fall 2012 application be available?</p>

6

<p>It should be available in mid September.</p>

7

<p>You’ll get into all three of them. Looks like you’ll be at Rutgers Pharmacy, then.</p>

<p>Your high school would have to be the most grade inflated high school in the history of public education for you to be outside the first decile with a 4.7 lol That aside, you should get into all three. gl hf</p>

<p>heheh. I’m pretty confident I’m in the top 10%. I was just predicting the absolute worth case scenario. My school isn’t really “inflated.” One of the reasons you can have a very high GPA is due to the + and -. An A+ in a regular college prep course would be a 4.33, and an A+ in an AP course is a 5.33 which helped to up my GPA.</p>

<p>You should not have a problem with any - the more interesting question if you will get any merit money. And for Pharmacy - since you’ll probably get in, you might want to ask yourself if you would really want to go rather than taking an offer that would otherwise go to someone else.</p>
