Presidential Scholarship?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>Hello! </p>

<p>I'm in state and just got confirmed acceptances to NB SAS and business at RU, still waiting on Pharm.</p>

<p>anyway i was wondering if anybody at RU/who knows a lot of RU people could tell me what scholarship i could probably get? </p>

<p>i've looked at their site's page about scholarships already, and i know that for Presidential Scholarship (full ride) you need above 2250 on SAT and an A average. I have a 3.66 UW GPA (about 91-92 on a 100 pt scale) which is about an A- for most places I think. would the fact that it's an A-, not an A average matter? For reference, I got a 2390 on the SAT, and I am also a National Merit Semifinalist (hoping my SAT score nets me Finalist status but i find that out in January). </p>

<p>I'm hoping my high SAT score would balance out the fact that I have an A- instead of A average but i don't know how strict they are about that. Does anybody know? And if i'm not likely to get presidential scholarship, what scholarships do you think they might give me instead?</p>

<p>also does anyone know when exactly we find out about merit aid/financial aid? i've heard it's in jan/feb but is there an exact date or time of month or something that they usually release that info?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>If you don’t get the presidential you more or less get the shaft (I would know lol) The other merit scholarship is 2500-7500 and I’ve never met anyone who got the 7500, still instate tuition and grants/scholarships/workstudy go a long way.</p>

<p>Anyway for the presidential you might have a chance, fingers crossed!</p>
