@Senior1999 For New Brunswick, flagship campus, grades and SAT score need to go up, specifically for business, engineering and pharmacy. See the attached link for 2017 admitted students profile. Profile for 2018 is higher but not officially published yet. GPA reference on the attached assumes 4.5 as the max weighed GPA. Therefore, if in your son’s school max weighted GPA can go up 5.00+, your son’s 4.0 weighted GPA is considerably lower than 4.0 when converted. However, keep in mind, grades and scores alone do not grant admissions. With that said, tell your son to cram for SAT, dedicate 2-week schedule prior to the exam, CRAM to KILL it. There are free online study programs to do this. https://admissions.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/media/Documents/2017-18Admn_Profile-WB.pdf
@anthrdy thanks for response. Sounds like he has some work to do . Don’t think he can do much with gpa at this point . Maybe sat scores. He’s not looking into any of those more competitive programs so maybe stats do not have to be quite as high . Thanks again !
