What are my chances? (i'm from France with lower GPA, and worried)

<p>I lived in France from age 7-16, so my 9th and 10th year grades don't have Honors or APs since those don't exist in France. Therefore my GPA isn't high when it is cumulative (2.9) but if you look at my Junior year of HS it is 4.1. And my senior grades are looking the same so far.</p>

<p>I took 2 AP exams last year: Psychology and French, and got 5 on both.
I am taking AP European History this year and ALL Honors classes. (And i'll be taking the AP European History AP Test)</p>

<p>I applied a while ago and can't exactly recall if Rutgers wanted a counselor statement or had any area in the application where an applicant can explain circumstances such as my low GPA, but if they did I most certainly explained it.</p>

<p>SAT:
Critical Reading: 660
Writing: 720
Math: 520</p>

<p>Subject test:
Literature: 640
French Language: 800
(I haven't sent them though since I took them in December...)</p>

<p>I'm the photographer and web designer of my school newspaper, I babysit and do french tutoring, I do community work for the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity, but have only done so since about a month. I play the piano and do portrait photography. I've been in clubs such as FBLA and the French Club and have also been a lead actress in drama class.</p>

<p>My essay/short answers/other, have info about my living in France, the culture and traveling experiences I had (I traveled throughout Europe a lot).</p>

<p>I want to major in French or Psychology. </p>

<p>Any opinion?</p>

<p>I applied at New Brunswick.</p>

<p>I would say that you’re in…I mean, you’re from France lol</p>

<p>I have American citizenship though cause my mom is American. But you think the diversity will help?</p>

<p>I’d say you have a shot at SAS in NB.</p>

<p>SAS in NB?</p>

<p>Ohh just got that. Yes that’s what I applied for, School of Arts and Science at NB. Thanks! I hope I get in!</p>

<p>Any other opinion to share on potential chances?</p>

<p>When did you apply? If you applied EA (Nov 1), then you should get a decision by Jan 31</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I applied RD, DEC 1 I believe it was…</p>
