<p>your sat scores are too low for merit scholarships. even if you were in-state, you wouldn't get any. your ec's are nice, but rutgers hardly looks at ec's.</p>

<p>sorry.</p>

<p>but the loans at rutgers are fairly generous. at least they were last year. with all the new applicants (because of the fairly successful football team), i don't know if they'll be as generous.</p>

<p>Ugh. Then I guess I should knock Rutgers off my list. Thanks for informing me.</p>

<p>...Or you could just try upping your SAT scores.</p>
