<p>Hey everyone :) I'm going to be applying early admission and I just wanted to know before hand if I have a good shot of getting in :) I want to major in education so I will be applying to the School of Arts and Sciences. I attend a public school in state.
Freshman Year: GPA weighted 4.086
Spanish 2: A ; Honors English: A- ; Algebra 1: B+ ; World History Honors: A- ; General Science Honors: B+ ; Electives: A+'s ; Gym: A</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: GPA weighted 3.896
Spanish 3: A- ; Honors English: A ; Plane Geometry: A- ; APUSH1: B ; Honors Bio: B ; Electives A+s and Gym A</p>

<p>Junior Year (I don't know what my GPA is yet, but if I calculated correctly its 3.961 weighted)
Spanish 4: B+ ; AP English: B+ ; APUSH2: B+ ; Honors Chem: B+ ; Algebra 2: B+ ; Electives A+ and Gym A</p>

<p>Senior year I'm taking AP English 2, Honors Accouting, Pre-Calc, Earth Science, and then electives and gym (mandatory) and being an early dismissal (which just means I don't have lunch and one extra class). I don't want to slack too much but my junior year was very stressful (APUSH2 and honors chem are 2 of the hardest, if not THE hardest classes in my school) and I'm going to self-study for the AP PSYCH exam</p>

<p>SATS: total 1900/2400 Writing: 730 Math: 620 CR: 550</p>

<p>AP Exams: English Lang: 4 ; USH: 3</p>

<p>EC:
I have held an internship with the Nordstrom BP Fashion Board for 09-10 and now 10-11.
I've volunteered at the library for over a 100 hours.
I am the president of the international society (previously vp and before that historian), pres. of book club for two terms, editor in chief of school newspaper (previously assistant editor). I'm also in National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society, and I have been a member of Art Club (2 years), Cooking Club (2 years), Float Committee (2 years), History Club (1 year).</p>

<p>thanks everyone :)</p>

<p>You’ll get in easily (I’m applying to Rutgers this year too, but for Business). Rutgers does not have early admission/early decision, they just have rolling admissions (apply anytime and know x amount of months later). Their app came out today so if you want to get a head start on that, it’s here: [Rutgers</a> | Rutgers Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.rutgers.edu/ApplyNow/ApplicationsAndTheBasics.aspx]Rutgers”>http://admissions.rutgers.edu/ApplyNow/ApplicationsAndTheBasics.aspx)</p>

<p>thanks :slight_smile: they do have early admissions though lol…on their website it says that the early admission deadline is november 1st. do you know how long it takes usually to hear back with the rolling admissions?</p>

<p>If you apply late September early October you may hear back in just a few weeks.</p>

<p>sweet :slight_smile: thanks !</p>

<p>oh. Didn’t see the early admission lol
Is it any different than just applying regularly with rolling admissions?</p>

<p>I’m not sure what the difference is. My son applied end of October and he got his acceptance letter by Thanksgiving. People who applied earlier seemed to get their decisions in 2-3 weeks. If you are applying for a competitive program such as Pharmacy, Engineering, or Business, I would get my application in as soon as possible.</p>
