<p>I applying to the New Brunswick College of Arts & Sciences</p>

<p>They requested my 7th semester grades and I sent them yesterday. Does anyone know if that's a good sign or a bad sign? (most people dont need to send their 7th semester grades)</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 2.84 on something similar to a 7-point scale.</p>

<p>SAT: 2010/2400, 1370/1600 (650R 720M 640W)</p>

<p>EC's:
Tech Team student leader
A+ certified professional computer technician
Lots of volunteer work (mission trips, church work)
Developed database-driven homework website for teachers and students.
Decent essay
Great reccomendation from technology teacher.</p>

<p>Im pretty nervous about this, my GPA is far below everyone else on here. Luckily, my school doesn't do rank. (My schol has great stats and my rank wouldnt reflect my GPA)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>YOou should be in, but your GPA is probably going to hurt you.</p>

3

<p>yea I am seriously incredibly worried because of my terrible GPA. Does anyone know of anyone that has gotten into rutgers with <3.0?</p>

5

<p>Is it really on a 7-point scale?</p>

6

<p>7 point scale as in 93-100 A etc. its still 2.8 out of 4.0</p>

7

<p>What is your average out of 100? I would think that would more indicative of your true GPA since most schools now use the 10 point scale.</p>

<p>That grading scale you are referring to is what my HS used back in the 70s</p>

<p>100-94 A
93-86 B
85-78 C
77-70 D
69-</p>

8

<p>my avg out of 100 is probably about an 87</p>

<p>87 is not a bad average. Not sure what your chances are, but if you went to to a school that based grades on the ten point scale, surely you would have a gpa in the low 3.X range. I mean straight B's would give a 3.0 gpa, right? </p>

<p>I'm sure colleges are aware of the grading scale so hopefully you won't be at the disadvantage you fear.</p>

<p>If it's an 87 then you're in.</p>

11

<p>My school has a wicked grading scale. It is not the standard 7 point steps. a 69 is an F. </p>

<p>Are colleges informed of the grading scale?</p>

12

<p>7 pt scale used to be the standard 'back in the day'. or at least it was in the 70's.
A- was give for 94
B+ for 93, B- for 86
C+ for 85 C- for 78</p>

<p>And nobody 'curved' any tests, ever. At least not in my school. You could be a solid A student today, yet in the past, you would have been a solid B.</p>

<p>my friend got lower than a 3.0 but had a good sat score above 1900. and he was not accepted</p>
