<p>I sent in my application in the middle of September and Rutgers is my #1 choice. I have not heard yet and am getting nervous. Rutgers average SAT is 1219 but I heard they favor heavily students from NJ...am I correct?</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>i think you have a very good chance.
it's weird because they should have given you a reply within about 4 weeks.</p>
<p>I know..that's why I am a little nervous. I forgot to add, I am not applying for Financial Aid, if that makes a difference at all.</p>
<p>Anyone else want to take a stab at my chances???</p>
<p>Rutgers is a safety for you. Why not apply to more competitive colleges?</p>
<p>Being state funded, Rutgers MUST take 85% of applicants who are NJ residents. They use rolling admissions and only this year added the essay requirement. I suspect reading the essays is what is holding up the normally quicker response rate. So if your essay is decent, don't worry.</p>

<p>Really???</p>
<p>Can you name a few in the area that you think I have a decent shot of getting into??</p>
<p>Has anyone with lower stats than I have been accepted at Rutgers yet?</p>
<p>Ok..let me ask this...Has anyone with better stats than me been rejected yet?</p>
