<p>I am considering attending Rutgers but I would like to be in the honors program if possible. Do I have a good chance of getting in? I am worried that I will not be accepted because my class rank is so low.</p>

CR: 790<br>
Math: 690<br>
Writing: 650</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7-3.8
I am in the 4th decile in my class (I go to one of the most difficult high schools in NJ)
New Jersey resident</p>

<p>I am currently enrolled in:
AP U.S History
Next year I am enrolled in:
AP Psychology
AP Literature and Composition
Maybe AP Language and Composition and/or AP Computer Science</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Sorted vegetables for a co-op for 4-5 years
In a high school band for 4 years
Volunteered at my local historical society
Interned at the New York Historical Society (hopefully I will this coming summer)</p>

<p>Well… lets put it this way.
I had a
600 CR
750 Math
760 Writing</p>

<p>4.0 weighted gpa
top 25% of my hs (which is number 4 in NJ)</p>

<p>and along with extra curriculars… and a lot of other stuff</p>

<p>i didnt get in.</p>

<p>dont get too bummed out if you apply and dont get in. you just need a 3.7 to be in it as a sophomore</p>

<p>Oh well…=( I was hoping for honors but I think I can do well at Rutgers if I go there so hopefully I could make the honors program my sophmore year. Thanks for the information though</p>

<p>thats really wierd that you didnt get in? does your high school rank? I got into it with a 3.49 uw gpa and a 700 on critical reading, 690 on math, 710 on writing. I was just outside of the top 20% of my class with weight gpa at like a 3.7.</p>

<p>Do you have to apply to be in SAS honors at RU? Because I was sent a letter about a month ago saying that I got in and I never applied or anything. My GPA is 4.07, (weighted, I don’t know the unweighted) and my SATs were CR-800, math-580, writing-730</p>

<p>you are offered the hp but apply if you aren’t initially offered.</p>
