<p>Haven't seen a thread for others who wanna transfer to RU-NB next fall yet so just gonna jump in and start it up. I graduated from High School with a 2.85 GPA. I've been working my ass off the last year at Passaic County Community College and I will graduate with my Associates Degree in Psychology next May. So far as of right now I have a 3.3 GPA and aiming get Straight A's this Fall 2012 semester at community college. I'm a New Jersey resident going to a New Jersey CC and I just wanted to know what are my chances of getting into Rutgers New Brunswick SAS? I took 2 summer classes but withdrew them to save my GPA and the fact that I couldn't balance a full time summer job with school and for other personal reasons. Feedback would be appreciated.</p>
<p>ok gpa, but if you can bring it up to a 3.4 it will increase your chances tenfold. Also, a word of advice is that community college courses tend to be a bit easier then university courses so if you do get accepted, you have to face reality and come up with a study schedule to make sure you pass your classes.</p>
<p>Apply early, rutgers does take a lot of transfer students.</p>
<p>I plan on transferring to Rutgers next fall as well, but I have a question I’ll be receiving my associates degree in August most likely (have my schedule for the year planned out already) so when should I send in my application, and also I currently have a 3.53 GPA and in the honors program at my NJ community college is that good enough to get me into the Business school at New Brunswick?</p>
<p>Really Shipponz? even after 2 withdrawls if I manage to clock my gpa higher? I haven’t had a problem at CC, My Summer I classes was just hard to maintain with both work and other personal issues. My friend at the Engineering School Mentioned that about having a stable and consistent study schedule, he nearly flunked out cuz he didn’t have a stable schedule</p>
<p>Firefighter, i really don’t know about the business school but it is very competive. Transfers within Rutgers don’t even get in. You have a chance but on the safe side you should apply to SAS because its easier to get in. </p>
<p>If the case is that you get into SAS and not business, you can go to SAS and transfer into business school.</p>
<p>However, you are going to have to show them you can handle it.</p>
<p>For example, it might be a good idea to take</p>
<ol>
<li>a math course</li>
<li>a business/econmics course</li>
<li>two easy A electives.</li>
</ol>
<p>Its better to get a high GPA then take 16-19 credits trying to prove you can handle course work and get a couple C’s. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Roguestatus, what you said about engineering school is true. Even Dean Rankin tells students on the freshmen engineering day that the person to the left or right of you will not graduate with you. </p>
<p>As for the withdrawals, you can not get any more W’s. It will show that you cant handle the course load. Try to take 12-14 credits if you are working 15-20 hrs a week in the fall.</p>
<p>Working and going to school are both full time jobs, It takes experience.</p>
<p>I am not trying to gloat or anything, but i worked 30 hrs a week and took a 4 credit summer course meeting 5 days a week. I started 10am and ended 10pm mon through friday and spent weekends studying. It was a horrible summer, i hated it but i had to do it to get an A.</p>
<p>Try to work less first and get an A in classes and then slowly bring up the hrs for work.
Working and make 7.25-12 dollars an hr now is not as good as making 15-25 dollars an hr later. </p>
<p>Anyways, you have a good chance try to bring up GPA somewhat and good luck</p>
<p>shipponz, you told Firefighter to transfer to SAS, because it’s easier to get into; however, why would he need to with an Associates degree? What will be learned there for a whole year waiting for 2014 to get into business school, when the last 2 years are business oriented courses? Just curious, because you are not the first to say this, and i’m not sure myself… Me and Firefighter have very similar GPAs and i also plan to transfer Fall 2013 with an Associates too, hopefully ;).</p>
<p>The reason i said this is because not all credits transfer over. Some courses at community college won’t be taken by Rutgers. It depends on the school, from what i hear SAS allows the most credits because it is the school with a variety of majors. </p>
<p>I recommended SAS as a backup because if he doesn’t get into Business he can still attend rutgers, take business/economics courses and then apply for a school to school transfer.</p>
<p>Not every credit you take will probably be taken by rutgers. I have friends who are transfer who went to community college and had 60+ credits but ended up at rutgers around the 30s in credits.</p>
<p>Here is an example, if you are at rutgers and you want to take a course during the summer, you have three options.</p>
<p>1.Take it at Rutgers(nwk, nb, camden)
2. Take it at another University
3. Take it at community college</p>
<p>However, some courses you want to take in the summer will not be accepted if you take it anywhere else but rutgers or another university. So if a present Rutgers student can’t transfer summer credits taken at a community college then how will Rutgers allow a community college student to transfer credits for a University level course.</p>
<p>Hope it makes sense, also classes not taken at Rutgers will not affect GPA only credits transfer over.</p>
<p>Transfers usually have to do 3 years because of this. There are some students that can finish in 2 but very few do.</p>
<p>I understand what you mean, kinda. My question now is what is the point of the Comprehensive State-Wide Transfer Agreement if credits won’t transfer? [Rutgers</a> University Transfer Student Information](<a href=“http://admissions.rutgers.edu/lampitt.asp]Rutgers”>http://admissions.rutgers.edu/lampitt.asp)</p>
<p>I go to mccc, and according to them, their business administration program was “designed” for students who plan to earn a 4 year degree at a uni, giving them “junior status” upon entering. The only thing i see wrong with it is if you pick the wrong general education classes. Only certain ones are apparently transferable. <a href=“http://www.mccc.edu/pdf/catalog/cat09-11_program-update_16-17.pdf[/url]”>http://www.mccc.edu/pdf/catalog/cat09-11_program-update_16-17.pdf</a></p>
<p>This is why i’m a little confused as to why it is possible that only 30 of someones credit would transfer… To me, it seems that should only happen if you don’t have an AA which grants you that right.</p>
<p>I’m trying to Transfer for spring semester of Rutgers New Brunswick
My classes are:
Calc 1
MacroEcon
English 1101
Comp prog solv</p>
<p>its a total of 13 credits. So my question is do you guys know if all these credits will be transferred to New Brunswick. I’m taking these classes at CUNY City Tech</p>
<p>cross113,</p>
<p>I don’t know if CUNY city tech is accredited nationally or regionally (it makes a difference). Credits from nationally accredited schools often won’t transfer to regionally accredited schools. However, i remember seeing on their site that if you go to an accredited school and they have the same courses, there is a good chance it will be accepted. So I’d say it depends on your school’s accreditation. I think that’s the concept of most schools, not just Rutgers.</p>
<p>I just looked up if CUNY city tech was accredited nationally and it is. Does rutgers take nationally or regionally? And can you transfer to rutgers with 13 credits after first semester</p>
<p>In my first semester at Rutgers Newark, I was on the Dean’s list, but still got an overall GPA of 2.923 because of 1 D on Gen Chem I due to switching majors from Theatre Arts to Engineering.</p>
<p>After that, I got accepted to Bergen Community College as a Theatre Arts major and get good grades on gen eds there (to take a year off from Rutgers). While at bergen, I’m NOT an engineering major. At BCC I got a B on gen bio I because I decided to take General Bio instead of Gen chem I since I am not a science major.</p>
<p>Rutgers New Brunswick requires a transfer GPA of 3.0+ and 24+ credits, so I hope BCC is gonna be my most recent and much more helpful…</p>
<p>So I will have planned to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick, starting the beginning of the year 2013 before the deadline.</p>
<p>Plus I wrote on my app essay to Rutgers New Brunswick about me majoring in BA Theatre Arts (NOT Fine Arts) and minoring in American Studies, just in case before applying transfer to R-NB.</p>
<p>I just decided to apply as a transfer to Rutgers - New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences because I believe it is much less competitive (since it is a liberal arts school).</p>
<p>if you got above a 3.0 GPA and 60+ credits from NJCC, your chances of getting in is about 70%</p>
<p>What about 50-59 credits??? I was gonna think about that.</p>
<p>Hey I created a group for all potential 2014 fall rutgers transfer students to come together…Join if you want!
