<p>I’m sorry, but I was exempt from the writing section of the placement test because my Critical Reading SAT Score was over 700. So I don’t know…</p>
<p>If you get a 4 or 5, in Calc BC; you will be placed into Calc 3. A 4 or 5 on the AB subscore (and no 4/5 on the BC section) will put you in Calc 2.</p>
<p>If you get a 4 in AP Chem, you will need to take the second semester of general chemistry for engineers. If you get a 5, you will not need to take any general chemistry courses/lab. However, depending on which engineering you decide on, you may be required to take Organic Chemistry. (and Physical, if you’re chemE.)</p>
<p>hey, Thank you for answering my questions. I am going to do Mechanical engineering; therefore, i believe that i dont need to take orgo… thank you again…</p>
<p>^ I went the the Engineering tour today and met with some of the students. They looked very sociable and nice. So, I don’t think it would be a problem as long as you know your limits. (That’s what they told me and I agree!)</p>
<p>Yup, I agree with nothing4me pretty much. I mean, it is a lot easier to schedule things if you come in with at least a few ap credits because those are classes you don’t have to stuff in your schedule. You definitely don’t have to sacrifice a social life; you simply need to learn how to study well. There are some awesome books with not-so-great titles, but one is How to Become a Straight-A Student: Unconventional Strategies used by Real College Students by Cal Newport.</p>
<p>It’s a challenge to balance your academic work with the activities you would like to do, but that is the challenge I feel is crucial to thriving (not surviving) in college and in real life later on.</p>
<p>Right now, I didn’t get accepted into the College of Engineering, but I did get accepted to their College of Arts and Sciences. If I take the right classes, is it easy to declare an Engineering Major?</p>
<p>Also, how is the housing at Rutgers in general? Does each dorm get their own appliances and bathrooms?</p>
<p>If you can keep your gpa high and take the regular science/math courses necessary, you should be able to transfer in fairly easily. You’d just have to take the engineering prerequisites such as Intro to Computers for Engineers and Engineering Mechanics: Statics either over the summer or in your sophomore year unless you are allowed to take them your freshman year.</p>
<p>Housing is pretty good. Freshman housing is generally doubles style, each floor gets two communal bathrooms with around five toilet stalls and four/five shower stalls. Each bedroom for two gets a microfridge and a microwave.</p>
<p>jbelaguas: do you know why you didn’t get accepted? What was your high school gpa? have you taken any APs, if so which ones? Sorry for all the questions hahah.</p>
<p>oh and if i want to go to medical school, should i start studying for the MCATS as soon as my freshman year?</p>
<p>I definitely know why I didn’t get accepted to their engineering school; my math grades for my sophomore and junior years were just straight terrible. This year however, I’m doing fairly well in my calculus class with around a B+ average and I’m extremely driven to work hard in their engineering program.</p>
<p>Sorry, one more thing, everyone here is talking about SAT scores. why not the ACTs? I feel like i did better on those, about a 31 and i got a 1650 (530 CR, 610 M, 510 W). which would you recommend to send in. i’m planning to take both a second time thoughh.</p>
<p>terrible…like below 85? bc my soph and junior year was a 90 avg. and this year i have a 100 in pre-calc…I’m so worried it’s not even funny hahah. well, maybe a little…</p>
<p>rawr193: I got flat out B’s in some of my math classes and I’m in; stop worrying about it, haha! (and colleges get your transcript, not your number grades.)</p>
<p>most people have taken the SAT, so they are more inclined to talk about it. people who haven’t taken the ACT, such as me, can’t really make anything from the scores you tell us because we just don’t know what that kind of grade means. I would send in both; I don’t think it could hurt you.</p>
<p>jbelaguas: good luck transferring into the program; I know it’s supposed to be very tough when you really get into engineering (junior year for most), but do your best!</p>
<p>jbelaguas: uhm, you can either choose a roommate (you have to choose each other mutually and know each other’s RUIDs.) or you can fill out a small survey for a random one. the survey isn’t very intensive, so it’s really just randomed. I got lucky with a roommate I get along with, but sometimes there are problems and you are free to switch during the year.</p>
<p>rawr193: you just need to learn how to let go of numbers. I find that people with maturity know how to take bad grades and numbers in stride, see them as they are, know where they messed up, and try to improve.</p>
<p>For the people curious about job outlook after Rutgers, lots of people in my family went here and they’re all very successful. You just need to take advantage of the opportunities that are given :). As an example, my uncle went to UPenn for engineering, but he’s not nearly as successful as my other uncle who went to Rutgers for engineering.</p>
<p>i have received honors engineering at nyu-poly as well as rutgers university , both into engineering program , at rutgers i have free ride and at nyu-poly i have to pay a year around 20k for tution and room and board, but nyu-poly after 4 years gives me master degree , and rutgers is regular undergraduate , but i donot like the area of nyu-poly at brooklyn, so what should i do ??? please help me decide it is only one week left for me to choose my college, all my friends are going to rutgers as well , but i am not sure with nyu-poly area in brooklyn ?? what should i do , yes i am going to be staying at campus , cannot commute from home</p>
