Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>Senior in High school</p>

<p>GPA: 3.92 UW
SAT: 1600 ):
Ranked 8 in my senior class
Tons of Volunteering and extracurricular
For senior year, taking 23 credits each quarter at a community college instead of doing regular high school classes.</p>

<p>Out-of-state, ):</p>

<p>Do you think I can get in with such low SAT scores? I'm worried since I still haven't heard back from them yet =/</p>

<p>And I also had some problems freshman year so basically I got all failing grades for a year. =/ But the thing is that those grades didn't count towards my GPA so my GPA remained high since I worked really hard after that.</p>

<p>Hmmmmmm. I found out I got in last weekend, then again I’m in-state.</p>

<p>I still think you have a good chance. Your GPA is great. Do you know how your High School ranks (i.e. good or ehhh school)?</p>

<p>What did you write your essay about?</p>

3

<p>My high school is like EHHHHHH haha
On my essay, I wrote about why I was getting failing grades freshman year and how i overcame it.</p>

4

<p>What schools within rutgers did you apply to? Some majors are harder to get into than others.</p>

5

<p>I still think you have a chance of getting in.</p>

6

<p>I applied to:
Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy,
School of Arts and Sciences in New Brunswick,
and School of Environmental and Biological Sciences</p>

7

<p>I hope so! That’s my first choice and I really hope that I get in! (:</p>

<p>I think your sats are good enough for those majors. Good luck!</p>

<p>I was attending Rutgers University Newark where I could not afford my books because my financial aid was not granting me enough money. I then joined the United States Marine Corps. I finished at Rutgers University Newark with 12 credits and a 2.5 GPA because of my financial distractions. If I had my financials together I would have had a 3.0 to 4.0 GPA at Rutgers University Newark. I am currently attending a community college. I will have 12 credits and a around 4.0 GPA at the CC. I will be applying to Rutgers NB with 24 credits and a 3.25 GPA. Do you think that I have a chance of getting in for the fall semester 2010?</p>

<p>We live out of state, and my child was accepted with a lower SAT score than yours to Rutgers NB the day after Thanksgiving. We don’t think one single factor played a role in this decision but believe that applying early to schools, getting several teacher recommendations, emphasis on work/extracurricular experience and awards on college application, and taking SAT three times have all contributed to my child’s acceptance. A great GPA which you also have and class rank is important, but it should be based on a somewhat challenging course load of course.</p>

<p>As a side note, we just came back from an information session this past weekend. The Rutgers’ school of pharmacy is the only school of pharmacy in New Jersey. Students applying there start with 2200 SAT scores on average but the NB SAS has a lower standard. With the information you provided here, you should be ok in getting accepted to NB SAS.</p>

<p>Woot! I got in! yayyyy both SAS and School of Environmental and Biological Sciences</p>
