Junior-nothing
Senior-not sure yet.
Throughout junior and senior year I've bin lifting and i knew exactly what i wanted to be; a Physical Therapist.</p>
<p>Im really trying to get into Physical Therapy, so for undergrad ill prob need to get into Rutgers for kinesiology. </p>
<p>SAT I (out of 2400)
M 550
W 440
CR 410
=1400</p>
<p>I know my SAT is realllyyy low, and its not where i want it to be, im taking classes and trying my best for the OCT,10 test.</p>
<p>overall weighted before senior year (3.44)</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into Rutgers, as of now?
It would really nice if i can get some advice as to increasing my chances, i really want to get into Rutgers.</p>
<p>Anything i can do let me know i really want to get it.</p>
<p>your sat is way to low for rutgers,You Have to raise it!.
Your chances for New Brunswick are slim but with your current stats you may have a shot at camden or Newark</p>
<p>Up the SAT, apply early to show your interest, transcript is the most important!! Buy a $20 Kaplan SAT practice book and concentrate on CR score yourself, you don’t need a class. Rutgers requires you take a math, English, and foreign language placement test as well, after you are excepted. You can get out of English placement exam by placing over 600 on the SAT Critical Reading part. </p>
<p>Even if you score well on the SAT but do not score well on the placement exam, you will be placed in a lower level English class such as basic composition. The goal is to place into Expo.</p>
<p>I personally know a student who did not do well on the SAT CR but placed into Expo anyway. Just take the next three weeks of preparing seriously.</p>
<p>Based upon your couple of samples here, and seeing your writing and critical reading SAT scores, I think maybe you ought to take written, grammatically correct communication in the English language a bit more seriously. It will stand you much better stead, at whatever school you attend, and in life.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re going to be a real longshot to get into Rutgers with those scores.</p>
<p>It’s true that SAS is less competitive than say, Pharmacy or Business, but still - 1400??? My math + critical reading alone was higher than that.</p>
<p>Also, apologies to the OP. I just don’t want to see standards watered down or anything because the university is already accepting so many new students - the largest freshmen class in history, I think - and it’s getting too crowded.</p>
<p>My advice would be to just take classes, like you’re doing, and read prep books. An improvement of 200-300 points now would be kind of tough, though, considering that it’s just a reasoning test; it covers basic material you should have learned all along.</p>
<p>geez you don’t have to a**hole about it though. The kid scared to death, and is looking for advice, and the first thing you do is mock him… Who cares if it’s the “largest freshmen class in history” if you are smart as you “claim” to be, it doesn’t matter if Rutgers get watered down, cuz you’ll be good one way or another.</p>
<p>Well back at the question. Make that SAT score into the 1700-1800 range and you might have a shot at Rutgers NB. Also try to take some Honors or AP classes (as much as you can handle).</p>
<p>Well, good job going off topic to rant at me. I was simply answering Steve Cheung’s question, and you just had to harp on my post even after I apologized. Mods, feel free to delete #9 of this thread ;)</p>
<p>Seriously though, what do you think the OP would prefer - sugar coated replies or realistic chances? I know I’d want the plain TRUTH, and the truth is that going from a 1400 to a 1700 is as tough as anything. As for the AP classes, high school has already started, and many of those classes have a lot of work over the summer anyways. It’s too late to upgrade.</p>
<p>By the way, are you a Rutgers student? If so, then you don’t need to be told about all of the problems it has with overcrowding. Or maybe you’ve just been lucky. Maybe you’ve never had to watch a full bus pass you by as your class on another campus started. Maybe you’ve never been shut out of a prereq because there’s not enough sections to accomodate everyone. Maybe you’ve never been stuck living on Douglass when all of your classes are on CA/Livingston, because there’s too many freshmen with guaranteed housing. Believe me, things are bad enough now without 1400 scorers.</p>
<p>The worst part about your post, Manythings, is that it really didn’t add anything of value to the thread. And you threw in a curse word for good measure. However, I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and attribute your anger to it just being a long day. Hey, it happens. Just try to be more rational next time. Thanks.</p>
<p>Seriously though, this overcrowding thing is a bit ridiculous. It seems worst than last year, especially with the buses. I don’t know how many times this week I had to try and fight to get off (and on) an F bus just because of crowds of people running towards the door and blocking it or people refusing to get off for a moment or move in fear that they lose their spot on the bus. </p>
<p>When did the “F” bus become an accordion bus anyway? Wasn’t that the EE?</p>
<p>And even more frustrating is College Avenue between 2 and 5pm. It gets so crowded with people crossing the street (very sloooowly for goodness sake and failing to even say or wave “thank you” to the patient drivers).</p>

I was actually visiting Rutgers last weekend and every time I crossed the street and a car had to brake I always waved and my girlfriend goes “don’t wave they have to stop for us.” It’s okay though cause she’s a freshman so I have a feeling that common courtesy was temporarily taken away by the fact that they’re “*****ing college kids now!!!”</p>
