Hey there, I’m just another clueless senior trying to find my way through the applications process. I plan on applying to a bunch of places, but my main concern is Rutgers - it’s one of the only in-state colleges I’m interested in.
I’m mainly applying to SAS for Computer Science, although I’m also considering a major in Electrical/Computer Engineering at, well, the School of Engineering. Would be nice if I could get into the Honors College either way, or with a decent merit scholarship.
Past classes: AP Calculus AB [5], AP Computer Science [5], AP U.S. History [5], AP French [3]. Took Honors for most other subjects, with Bs/As.
Current classes: AP Statistics, AP Physics C, Calculus II H, Honors English, Honors Business French
GPA: 3.6 UW, 4.0 W. My class is 750+, but my school doesn’t release rankings.
ACT: 34 Composite - 1 attempt
SAT I: 2300 - 760 CR, 740 M, 800 W - 1 attempt
SAT II: Math 2 - 780, Physics - 780, 1 attempt each
ECs: 3 years Varsity volleyball and club seasons, 1 year French Honor Society, current school library intern. Will be joining 3 nonacademic clubs this year now that I have the time. No community service aside from the internship, which counts in my school. I considered applying for NHS, but they require 30+ hours as a prerequisite and are extremely competitive besides.
I honestly have no idea what I should expect. My parents, both Filipino graduates, don’t have any experience with the colleges here - and they’ve mostly left me to do all of the work of applying by myself. Any feedback whatsoever on my level would be greatly appreciated!
