transfer acceptance?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>I am currently a freshman at Montclair State University and I want to transfer out to Rutgers New Brunswick in Fall 2009, but I don't think I will get accepted, because last year I was rejected. =[ I already applied, and sent out my Montclair transcript, now I am waiting upon a reply from Rutgers.</p>

<p>... but in the meanwhile what are my chances of getting in?</p>

<p>I went to a private high school and my GPA was an 81 [they did not do GPA on a 4.0 scale]
My SAT scores - [Math-600], [Writing-520], [Reading-420]
My 1st semester GPA from Montclair was a 3.0</p>

<p>I know my high school GPA and SAT scores are low, but I talked to a Rutgers Professor a couple of days ago, and he said that if you have a 3.0 GPA from a <em>community college</em> that you are <em>guaranteed</em> admission. I go to a university, so i don't know if that helps ...
I also know another girl who went to Montclair and transfered out/was accepted to Rutgers Newark, and she had a 2.7 GPA from Montclair.
Facts like these give me hope - but very little.</p>

<p>I just want other peoples opinions on if I will or will not be accepted to Rutgers
--OR--
if anyone has been in the same kind of situation as me and has made it, or knows of anyone.</p>

<p>Thank You All =]</p>

<p>How many credits in your first semester?</p>

<p>i transferred into RU new brunswick in fall 08. based on the info you gave, i think you should make it. in general its easier for transfers to make it, as long as you took around 15 credits to show that youre a serious student.</p>

<p>i took 16 credits .. btw thanks wariofan .. you made me feel a whole lot better about getting in</p>
