Look at the class profile and see how you stack up. That is all any of us can do. https://admissions.rutgers.edu/applying/admissions-profile

@ImTony2002 Computer Science is taught at the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) where the SAT score ranges for the middle 50% of high school students admitted for fall 2019 are 1280-1450.

Hopefully your pending SAT scores are better than your first SAT scores.

I suggest you have backups in place. Apply to NJIT, Rowan and TCNJ.

Admissions information for admitted students is important but it’s also useful to review the Common Data Set. It provides a lot of admissions data for enrolled students. Most colleges provide this information. Colleges accept a lot of students with high test scores they hope to enroll. But many of these very high sat students end up going elsewhere. Thus admitted student scores are useful but not the whole story. For Rutgers New Brunswick, the mid 50% range of SAT scores for enrolled (rather than admitted) students was 1190 to 1410 for 2018-2019. While I can’t be sure you will get into Rutgers, I think you have a good chance. You can google Rutgers Common Data Set and find the complete set of admissions data.
