I’m a High School Senior and Rutgers is one of my top choices but a reach. If someone could offer some insight on how to approve my chances in applying or let me know what my chances of being accepted are at all that’d be great.
-SAT 1190 (took multiple times and by far is the highest I’ve gotten)
- GPA around a 3.1
-2 AP’s senior year and honors courses all 4 years
-4 Year sport
-Mock Trial and Debate Team all of High School (also member of National Forensics League)
-Yearbook, Youth Action Counsel, Big/Sisters Reach-Out Program
-Internship with a local business where I built and designed a website, did product inventory, marketing, advertising etc.
-Multiple Art Awards including Scholastic silver and gold key
-I’m applying into Graphic Design and am planning on submitting a portfolio. I’m interested in majoring in UIUX too but have little to no knowledge about the program for it at this school
-Hundreds of volunteer hours (Was a volunteer camp counselor for three summers at an all girls sleep away camp and children’s nature camp)
-really strong recommendation letters and essay in my opinion
-plan on applying mid October
I know my grades and SAT score fall below the margin but I’m hoping the rest of my application will make up for it?
