<p>I got an 1170 sat, 650 verbal, 520 math
I have about an 85% gpa</p>
<p>I was not admitted to rutgers college, but did get in to the livingston college.
My other option for college is Ramapo.</p>
<p>I have visited both and I liked ramapo better, but most people are telling me to go to rutgers because it has a better reputation.
I also like the idea that at rutgers there is probably more to do, more frat gatherings, and sports etc. </p>
<p>I submitted my deposit for Rutgers mainly because all my teachers/parents/older friends are telling me it has a much better reputation, although entrance scores and programs seem to be comparable, just with ramapo being smaller.</p>
<p>You are right about Rutgers' reputation. Congratulations on your admit! What is your major? We did encourage our older D to go to Rutgers, but she just fell in love with Ramapo. However, Ramapo's rep has actually gotten better in 4 years, and is steadily improving. D felt she had an excellent education there. I have a feeling Ramapo will be comparable to TCNJ in the not too distant future. (I hope so, anyway) What do you think?</p>
<p>yes, I agree, I believe RCNJ will soon be comparable to TCNJ.
I also fell in love with ramapo and wanted to go there, but I listened to my parents since they will be paying for it, and I don't mind rutgers either.<br>
My major is labor studies.</p>
<p>A major of Labor Studies at Rutgers sounds excellent. My D is an artist and liked the Ramapo program better, plus she loves those mountains! My younger D starts Ramapo in the fall for Psych and Education. We're hoping it'll be a good fit for her. I loved Rutgers, my brother and uncle went for engineering and did great. I'm sure you are making a good decision. You can't go wrong with Rutgers.</p>
