Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm a senior at a New Jersey Public School. I plan to apply to Rutgers. My freshmen, sophomore and junior years were average. Took mostly honors classes, no AP. This year I'm taking 4 APs, macro, bio, latin, & stats. I have A's and high B's in those classes with an extra 20% weight. Good start so far this year. Will applying for early decision increase my chances, or am I better off waiting for regular decision? </p>

Reading: 560
Writing: 530</p>

<p>ACT: none[should I take these?]</p>

<p>GPA

<p>APs: Will be taking macro, bio, latin, & stats exam this year. </p>

<p>Hi - I’m afraid I can’t legitimately chance you 'cause I’m new here myself, but it’s nice to see another Latin kid! </p>

<p>I think you’ll have to have super essays with what you’ve got here. Your ECs are a bit sparse - I might also recommend taking the SAT again, if you think you can improve your scores. You say Rutgers doesn’t require recs, but do they take optional ones? That kind of thing might bump you up if you’re borderline.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
