Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University
1

<p>White Jewish Male
Miwaukee, WI
GPA: about a 3.4/4 unweighted
Class rank: top 30% (Very competitive school)
ACT: 27 (Math-30, Reading-29, Science-26, English-23, writing-7)
- Did a couple sports, some clubs and some volunteer work
-I have an extremly good personal essay because of my life story where I moved all around the world, lived through a war and got to where I am today through hard work. I wasn't born in the united states...I moved here about 4 years ago and had to perfect the english language while maintaining good grades. So hopefully they will apprecaite that. Im not a minority tho... (Im white/caucasian) so no affirmative action can help me.
- I have one good letter of recommendation.
- I am taking 3 AP classes (Chem, Bio, Calc) this year but mostly took a bunch of accelerated classes and a few Honors thoughout highschool.
- I had one job from beginning of Junior year till present</p>

<p>I applied to Pharmacy as my first choice and Arts and sciences as my second.
My application was complete November 5 and is still "In Process"</p>

<p>What are my chances? for pharmacy and Arts and Sciences...</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>Anyone please? :(</p>

<p>i wuz gonna say in, but then saw the milwaukee part- id say you have a 50-50 chance</p>

4

<p>edit sorry..</p>

<p>michaeljackson...is it really that much harder for out of state? and were you giving me my chances for pharmacy or for Art and sciences??</p>

<p>SubMachineNips...This is the Rutgers board...I know my chances to Madison arent too great :p</p>

6

<p>oops sorry i had multiple tabs open at once...i did that a few days ago too but i caught myself</p>

<p>you should be in at rutgers</p>

7

<p>Would you say I have any chance at Pharmacy...or do you think ill just get in to Arts and Sciences?</p>

8

<p>pharmacy is really hard...to be honest. my friend told me the average SAT is 1400 and almost everyone is top 10%. he's instate and ranked 6th of 82 with a 1270 SAT and is really worried about getting in. but i'd say you're in arts & sciences</p>

9

<p>is the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences hard to get into? If I get into arts and sciences...can i transfer or switch to SEBS? Do they let anyone transfer or do you have to qualify?</p>

10

<p>Rutgers only takes 15% out of state students, but I'd say you have a good shot at Arts & Sciences. Pharm applicants score almost 100 points higher on SAT's...don't know what the equivalent ACT's are...Enviromental and Bio school has (obviously) higher math/science grades needed but no where near what Pharm wants.</p>

11

<p>Is it only accepting 15% of the out of state students applying...or is it out of those accepted only 15% are out of state?</p>

12

<p>don't worry about it, you definitely got in</p>

13

<p>Out of those accepted, only 15% are out of state. Probably not that many from Wisconsin apply (NY, PA, FL, CA are big) so that should help.</p>
