Do I have a chance? I feel that my ACT scores are not high enough but do you really think I can get in and if I do potential scholarships?

What state are you from. And yea, the minimun gpa they went is a 3.5. You will definitely get in although they have been accepting less students lately then years before. Typically they accepted around 9,000 now theyre only accepting around 6,000 so maybe the requirements changed

I am from New Hampshire! And do you think my ACT scores are too low for the average of this school!?

Depending on what school you are applying to within rutgers depends on the Act score however rutgers doesn’t accept teacher recommendations as part of their admissions process

See where your stats fall in the common data set:

If you are solidly in the middle to upper range, I would apply.

I am trying to apply for the School of Arts and Sciences Sunsandsurf and okay I did not know that actually, thanks!

Thanks for the stats sheet mamaedefamilia! I really wish it had the ACT average scores tho…

I’m curious - what is it about Rutgers that attracts you?

I have read and heard many good things about the school. They have great programs and it has a really good reputation even though it is a state university.

Rutgers is a really well rounded school for pharmacy, business, and engineering. I’m actually instate but I don’t think it should be too hard for you even though you aren’t in NJ. It’s a match :slight_smile:

Chance me?
