<p>Congratulations on your acceptance to Rutgers as well as your other choices! Is Rutgers your first college choice?</p>

203

<p>Thank you! I got a letter in the mail a little while after I got the acceptance letter… unsure about the timing, but I think it was a week or two</p>

204

<p>That’s good. I found out online like 5 days after I applied and I received the official welcome packet a few weeks later. I like the NB campus; I have visited a few times because I currently have a few cousins who go to school there and I have helped them move in and it gave my family and I a chance to tour the campus a little bit. I applied to some other schools so I will see what happens.</p>

205

<p>Finally got my decision :D</p>

<p>Accepted
3.5 GPA
2170 SAT
Technically submitted all of my materials on 11/1/2011, but for some reason the date changed to 1/9/2012 to when they received all of my materials (is this normal, or did they really receive everything/the rest of my stuff 2 days ago?). Also I didn’t include my senior year schedule at first, but added it later, like ~11/20/2011 ish, but it still said they had received all required materials by 11/1/2011 until 2 days ago anyway.</p>

I was accepted into engineering.</p>

<p>If you just got accepted then they should tell you about scholarships in the coming weeks.</p>

211

<p>Got accepted to Rutgers-Camden! Im going their! Anyone else going their also?</p>

212

<p>I really want to major in business but I was rejected from the Business school. Rutgers was my third choice and I’m most likely going to end up at Penn State where I was also admitted. It’s nice to get admitted to SAS at Rutgers though.</p>

<p>Question to those who got their decision:
Did the date that Rutgers received all of your required materials change right before they updated your decision? Like, say you had everything in on Nov. 1st, Dec. 3rd, etc. etc. but were admitted on Jan 15th. Did it change the date to, say, Jan 14th or 15th or something to when they received all of your materials?</p>

<p>My name is Abraham and I am a junior in a private, Jewish high school in L.A. I am very interested in the programs, diversity, and beautiful campus that 0-6 pharmacy programs has to offer I am so INTERESTED IN PHARMACY!. I am a 1st generation American/ Persian, so my English is not that great but I am getting better quite rapidly. But, I have recently been stressing over the fact of applying to these programs or not (For Fall of 2013). The reason for that is because my high school does not emphasize on the strength of their academics and clubs etc. I have been in the highest level classes we can be in since the 10th grade.[Our school actually has the UC school requirements, but we have to go to school during the summer too, if we want to get the a-g courses.] In fact, I am taking calculus right now. But, the problem is that our school does not offer any AP classes. And since we start school at 7:30 AM and end on average at 9:30 PM, 6 days a week (excluding Friday’s due to religious observance) it is very hard for me to reach higher levels of secular studies. I am currently self-studying for the AP English Language and psychology exam. And I know I will do well because when I have a goal, I achieve it. But what worries me is: I don’t know if I am heading on the right track. We have no school counselor to help for this stuff! Also, my parents are very busy since we have a family of 8, so they do not really have time for this, so I have to take care of myself and my 4 younger siblings. I have also tried to make school clubs/groups; however, my school does not allow it. I even got a petition from many kids in my school that they wanted one of these groups, but no matter how many times i tried my school turned me down. Still, I have gone out of way to help my community and temple (volunteering), fundraising, setting up, tutoring, recycling, etc. Also, I took a practice ACT test and got something like a 28-29, but I am sure I can bump it up to over 30. Also, I forgot to mention I am planning on also self-studying AP Biology, Chemistry, and probably Calculus in my senior year (We are going to end at average 10:15 a night, so it will be pretty hard, but manageable). And if it helps I understand 3 languages, almost 4.</p>

<p>So I was wondering can you please help me. </p>

<p>What can I do to improve my application?</p>

<p>What should I be doing in my summer/ free time etc. (I mean, when I am not in summer school or studying)?</p>

<p>What should I do about the Clubs, and AP’s?</p>

<p>Please tell me of anything you think that can help me; I am forever grateful!</p>

<p>Thanks, Abraham.</p>
