<p>I've been hearing mixed opinions about rutgers admissions. I am an in-state New Jersey residence. I am a 4 year varsity cheerleader as well as captain of the cheerleading team. I was secretary of my student council freshman and sophomore year also an assemblyman for my senior and junior year. I am a certified lifeguard. I have volunteered as a an assistant coach for three summers for the local rec cheerleading teams. I have also been involved in my schools sparkle effect which allows special needs children to be apart of the cheerleading team at my high school. I am also in peer leadership. My school is the most challenging in the area my gpa is a 3.12 and my current ACT score is a 21. Could i get into rutgers?oh & I'm gonna apply early action</p>
<p>I would talk to your guidance counselor about that…Do you have Naviance at your school?
At our high school I see that a few kids that had same GPA and higher ACT scores didn’t get in, but that some did.
What are you planning in majoring in?
I would certainly apply but also consider Rowan as well where you would have a better chance.</p>
<p>The first items considered will be your GPA and ACT. Not your ECs – they are good accomplishments but do not make up for a subpar academic record. Like most big10 schools, I doubt it recruits for its cheer squads so that will have no affect on your application. </p>
<p>The best advice I can give you is to re-take the ACT before apps are due. Like bopper said, you need to have a very realistic and honest talk w/your GC.</p>
