I am pretty lost at what to do at this point. I got 1120 Sats and a 3.18 GPA (very minimal extra circulars) and I am starting senior year taking 3 APs and 2 honor classes. I only have taken the SAT 2 times so far and I plan on taking it on October and November. I hate life right now due to my past self not wanting to study and how I am suffering from that now. Tell me what I should do right now as of September 19th to stand a chance for this college. I am hoping to get into the School of arts and sciences for the New Brunswick campus. I am in state and I have around 27 volunteer hours
I’m a senior and in the same boat as you. 1190 SAT and just barely a 3.1 GPA and pissed as well for not trying harder in High School. If I were you I’d write a really kick ass essay, something raw and real and well written and most importantly true to you. Pick an interesting or weird topic to write about and remember college admissions really have seen it all so write about something you don’t think anyone else has before. Study as much as you can and if you could improve your SAT to a 1200 that would increase your chances tremendously. If you have time do more volunteer work, join some clubs and don’t wait till November, do everything you can to apply in October.
if you don’t mind me asking, did you apply EA?
