<p>***Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers. We are trying to find a correlation between cortical asymmetry,depression and risk for hypertension/heart disease using a electroencephalogram and a pulse/blood pressure monitor. I think this is pretty unique</p>

<p>I say you definitely have a shot at both. I think the honors college is likely depending on your class rank (if your in top 10% of your class, you should get in), as for scholarships to get the presidential you need to be in top 5% of your class and a 1500 M and CR on your SAT so you might need a bit of work, but most likely you'll get a lesser scholarship with your current resume.</p>

<p>actuaklly, ur automatically in at rutgers H if ur in the top 10%... once they let u in rutgers, anyone with a certain sat score ( i forget what it is, but it's i think 1400) and in the top 10% is automatically issued an ivitation....</p>

<p>howvere, since your school doesn't rank, you'd haev to fill out an application with recommendatiosna dn stuff... they promsied me that it doesnt affect the money if u apply or are automatically offered a spot</p>
