<p>Rutgers is a perfectly respectable school for computer science, despite the apparent dislike by New Jersey residents. A master’s degree is not required for most industry jobs. If you intend to go on to a PhD, study leading to such a degree should be funded.</p>
<p>Medical school admissions are heavily based on college GPA and MCAT scores, plus expected pre-med extracurriculars, interviews, and the like. Minimizing undergraduate costs in order to save money and avoid debt going into expensive medical school is important if you are considering the pre-med path. Note that you can major in anything as a pre-med, although you need to take the pre-med course work alongside whatever your major it.</p>
<p>Law school admissions is heavily based on college GPA and LSAT scores; see <a href=“http://lawschoolnumbers.com”>http://lawschoolnumbers.com</a> . Like medical school, minimizing undergraduate costs is desirable if you are considering the pre-law path. There are no specific major or course work requirements for pre-law students (just get a bachelor’s degree with the highest GPA possible).</p>
<p>Note that some New Jersey residents with high grades and test scores have reported getting full rides at Rutgers. Even if you do not get such a thing, your good work in high school makes you better prepared for college; at Rutgers, you are more likely to excel rather than just get by like your less well prepared classmates.</p>
