<p>High School Junior
Estimated 3.4 unweighted GPA
I had a bad freshman year, but I've gotten better.
I took An "Accelerated" class freshman year, took honors chemistry last year, and I'm taking AP Biology this year.
Worked as an umpire freshman year.
Volunteered to help coach my little sister's softball team the summer after freshman year, and I logged 24 hours.
Taken private drum lessons and had a band for almost two years now.
Started the political science club at my school this year.
Played intramural basketball every year.
Worked from May 2008-October 2008 at a grocery store (15-20+ hours per week).
I would guess I am at least in the top 25% of my class, possibly 10%.
Connecticut resident.
Parents make about 120,000 dollars a year combined.
I want to major in political science.
What are my chances to get in to Rutgers University-New Brunswick if I apply early action? How much financial aid/scholarships (if any) would I receive?</p>
<p>I haven't taken SATs yet but I have taken PSATs (61 on writing, 61 on critical reading, 67 on math, 189 overall).</p>
<p>Hey J,
I think if you keep up the good work, and the PSAT's translate to your SAT's you should get in. I am actually a current RU student in the School of Arts and Sciences. I am a poly sci or philosophy major. I am pretty sure you will get into Rutgers-New Bruns. </p>
<p>I am an in-stater but heres some of my general specs just if you want to compare...
3.5/4.0
550 math 610 reading 690 writing
Honors/APS
Pres of Class/Pres of Key Club</p>
<p>stats are good enough to get in. good job! But with your psat scores, you don't qualify for any merit aid, and with your parents' income, you don't qualify for any need-based aid. here: First-Year</a> Scholarships</p>
<p>also, you're a junior, so don't worry about it too much. my sat scores were way worse than yours then and I got it up enough to get a pretty hefty scholarship, without classes.</p>
