<p>Thanks for the reply. Would a better writing/math SAT scores improve my chances at Rutgers? I’ve also heard multiple times that it’s comparatively easier to get into Rutgers from instate, especially with a good essay (which I can definitely do). Can anyone back that up?</p>

<p>Rutgers is definitely a target. GPA is somewhat low, but you are instate so i would think you would get in with a good essay. Definitely try to improve your math and writing scores</p>

<p>You’ll be accepted into the School of Arts and Sciences but once you complete Intro to CS, Calc I, and Data Structures you can officially declare a CS major. So, don’t worry about Rutgers not accepting you because they most likely will because your in-state. Its a good match for you though.</p>

<p>Low match means you have a great shot of getting in.</p>

<p>I understand but if you check Rutgers CS website they require you to pass those two courses. So even if this person got into SAS they wouldn’t have CS as a major until passing them.</p>
