Chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>Hey guys, sorry to ask, but I am applying to Rutgers this fall and I really wanted to know what my chances are. Please be honest (just hopefully not too brutal though!)</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>I have a 4.04 weighted gpa (not sure what my unweighted is...)
I'm in the top 10% of my class
My first SAT score: 1660 (terrible, I know)
My second SAT score: 1750
First SAT combined CR +M is a 1030 (CR: 520 M:510)
Second SAT combined CR+M 1160 (CR: 620 M:540)</p>

<p>My highest combined score across all tests is a 1790/2400</p>

<p>I am also taking the ACT this September and hoping for something between 27-30</p>

<p>I was going to take the SAT, but I am afraid the scores will go down (especially math, weird how I am bad at standardized tests on math, but get high grades in the actual class). I haven't prepped much and I mean, my improvement has been good with the CR and Math, so I don't want to risk it.</p>

<p>I am also in 4 or 5 clubs in my school. (Z-Club, FBLA, SOAR, NHS, used to be in Chorus (scheduling problem))
In chorus, we performed at Lincoln Center and Disneyworld (pretty cool, I think)
I've also volunteered at a local hospital and will have completed 200 hours by Sept 2009. </p>

<p>I am NOT applying to the engineering, pharmacy, or business schools (which are the most competitve). I am however applying to SAS and by soph year applying into Bloustein's school for public health (and pre-med). </p>

<p>Oh and I am in-state</p>

<p>So what do you guys think are my chances?</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, especially if you are applying to SAS. Good luck.</p>

<p>fhlx- Thank you for your input. Yeah, I am pretty worried with this school. Seems like most public universities go by numbers and not enough on EC’s and recommendations. Rutgers doesn’t even look at recs! Anyway, thank you and about the luck…I think I will surely need it! haha</p>
