<p>It depends on what school you’re after.
Look at this site to compare your stats.
[Rutgers</a> Admissions | GPA’s and SAT’s of previously admitted students, by school](<a href=“http://admissions.rutgers.edu/academics/admissionsprofile.aspx]Rutgers”>http://admissions.rutgers.edu/academics/admissionsprofile.aspx)</p>

<p>It says the ranges for them are at 3.1-3.8, and mines a 2.8…does this mean I’m screwed? or are there some people who got in with less than a 3.1 GPA?</p>

4

<p>25-75% were those in the 3.1 to 3.8, you’ll probably get in</p>

5

<p>Are you applying to SEBS as your third choice? It may have easier requirements. I think that your GPA and SAT scores make you a borderline candidate so have a Plan B.</p>

6

<p>Yea the three schools I have applied to are:</p>

<p>-school of arts and sciences in New Brunswick
-school of engineering
-school of environmental and biological sciences</p>

<p>you have a chance for sas and sebs, but engineering is out of the question…
good luck tho :)</p>

<p>Yea I figured the school of engineering would be a toughy :stuck_out_tongue: thanks for the feed back!</p>
