I know there are threads with this title all over the website, but I want to know what my chances are specifically of getting accepted into the School of Engineering at New Brunswick as a sophomore (Fall 2020).
I am currently a freshman at NJIT majoring in Civil Engineering, and by the end of the fall 2019 semester, I will have completed 16 college credits. By the end of the school year, I will have completed 31 credits.
I looked over the basic requirements on the School of Engineering website, but I’m also aware that not all of my credits might transfer over. So, some of the classes I take right now include:
General Chemistry I (3 credits)
Civil Engineering Computer-Aided Design (1 credit)
Computer Programming using MATLAB (3 credits)
Fundamentals of Engineering Design (2 credits)
Humanities 101: Writing, Speaking, Thinking I (3 credits)
Calculus I (4 credits)
Next semester, I will be taking:
General Chemistry II (3 credits)
General Chemistry Lab (1 credit)
Humanities 102: Writing, Speaking, Thinking II (3 credits)
Calculus II (4 credits)
Physics I (3 credits)
Physics I Lab (1 credit)
So, could anyone let me know which of these credits will definitely be transferred over and which ones I should be concerned about? Thanks!
P.S. I’m not sure if this matters, but I did apply to RUSoE in December 2018 and got waitlisted in February 2019, then rejected in June 2019 shortly before my high school graduation, but I was told by an admissions representative over email that I could reapply to the SoE as a transfer student.
P.S.S. I also noticed that the admissions essay is “recommended”, not required. I’m still planning to submit an essay, but should I emphasize on it in my application? Should I worry about doing a lot of extracurriculars while I’m at NJIT, too?
