Could i get into rutgers?oh & I'm gonna apply early action</p>
<p>Your SAT score would probably be in the bottom 10-15% of applicants if you got in. Is that your weighted or unweighted GPA? Keep in mind that some public universities have application requirements; for example, you must have a 3.0 GPA and no grades below a C in order to qualify for a UC.</p>
<p>Even if you have a 3.12 GPA at a challenging school, keep in mind that your SAT score is lower than most. SATs are often used to compare students from different schools. Your extracurriculars are pretty good, although you don’t have many academic extras. I’d suggest improving your SAT score first. You could also try the ACT; it may be that your scores will be better on it.</p>
<p>It also depends on what major you’re planning on doing. For public universities, it’s best to choose your major beforehand, as it is harder to get into some major programs than others. If you’re applying to a major program that isn’t very selective, you probably have a much greater chance than if you’re applying to a very selective major program.</p>
<p>@topaz1116 Would it help if i go in undeclared or will that just make things worse? </p>
<p>@jadepari I’d have to do some more research on Rutgers for that, but the only problem with undeclared is that you may not be able to get into your desired major program. Many colleges put a cap on the number of people in a certain major program, especially large public universities. For example, at UC Berkeley, it is very hard to transfer into the College of Engineering, but it’s easy to transfer out. So someone going there who is interested in any field of engineering would probably want to choose a field of engineering and transfer to a different major inside the college later.</p>
<p>Rutgers = Reach right now due to low SAT and low GPA. Posting the same post over and over again wont raise your chances btw.</p>

<p>GPA is decent for Rutgers but SAT is too low. Get at least 1600 to be cmopetitive
