Chances of Getting Into Rutger NB's Nursing Program?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello all. :) This is my first post as a user here. I just wanted to know if anyone here could chance me for Rutgers NB's Nursing Program. I am going to be a senior this year, so I'll be applying for universities soon. I've been thinking of Seton Hall too, so you could chance me for that as well. </p>

<p>Current Unweighted: Around a 3.6 GPA</p>

<p>Current Weighted: Around a 3.94</p>

<p>Current SAT: 1490 (520 W, 520 CR, 450 M) :( I plan to take it again in October. I am currently taking SAT classes with Kaplan to improve my score. I have only taken it once.</p>

<p>APs: Just APUSH 1 and 2 from Sophomore to Junior Year. I got a 4 on my exam. I will also be taking AP Psych and AP Language and Composition this year too. </p>

<p>Honors: Honors World History Freshman Year, Honors English Sophomore and Junior Year, Honors French 2, 3 and 4 my Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Year. I will be taking Honors Humanities this upcoming school year. </p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Key Club, Seekers' Club, Track and Field Sophomore Year (Shot-put), National Honors Society (Just got accepted during the end of the school year, community service shall commence sometime next month), French Honors Society, and I am in my church's youth group.</p>

<p>Community Service: I help out at my church a lot since freshman year (i.e. Food Pantry). I am also a part of my school's Key Club which deals with community service. I have also helped out at a nursing home a few times.</p>

<p>I am a minority (African American) and I have lived in New Jersey my entire life. What are my chances? Do you think that if I increased my SAT score to around a 1700 - 1800 range, I would be able to get in? I know my SAT is horrible but with studying and preparation, I have the confidence that I can and will do better. I know RU's Nursing Program is competitive but I've wanted to do nursing for a long time. </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I agree with the above. I’m surprised, though, at your lack of Honors/AP science courses considering your potential major. If you do well though in whatever you do, the university will want you. Best of Luck!</p>

<p>@irishsson4 I was in a regular Science class my freshman year because in eighth grade, my final grade in Honors Science was a 3 (Then they did grades by numbers) so they didn’t accept me into the subsequent Honors Science course for ninth grade. So I had to take regular Science which I got an A in but my school pretty much only took those who were already in Honors for Honors Bio and Chem, respectively. So for that reason I have a lack of honors science courses.</p>

<p>I’ve taken Allied Health junior year (A in the class) and I’m taking Anatomy this year so hopefully those will substitute for my lack of honors science courses?</p>

<p>Thanks for wishing me luck.</p>
