<p>i am entering as a freshmen at newark and i know ppl going to NB Sas, with lower stats than you that got accepted so yea your in for SAS i say. </p>
<p>but what other schools are thinking of applying too ? you can put a max of 3 schools on your app</p>
<p>you sure about newark ? i am sure you will get into NB SAS and most def you will get into Newark, NB overall stats are higher compared to the Newark campus. </p>
<p>their differ schools within rutgers, the business schools, sebs (evnvoirmnetla schools)</p>
<p>you should visit each campus and see what you like, btw do you live near Newark ?</p>
<p>edit- with your stats i am sure you will get into the sas honors at newark for sure, and i am sure you have a really good chance at the honors at NB SAS. When you appy to newark schools you get automatically entered to see if you get into the honors program, in NB you have to apply separately, i would suggest you apply for the honors program at NB also</p>
<p>Thanks!
And yes, I am very interested in being involved with Oxfam wherever I go to school.
I would prefer the honors program at Newark but I will apply to the honors and regular programs at NB.</p>
<p>with those grades you can get into much better schools than Rutgers. Why on earth would you even consider Rutgers. If you are interested in Political Science you should be applying to George Washington or Georgetown located in Washington D.C. or try NYU, or Columbia. I would also look at Boston University, Northwestern and University of Chicago…</p>
<p>do some research and fine some better schools. You should be aiming MUCH MUCH higher than Rutgers…</p>
<p>NYU is my top choice, and I am now pretty confident about Rutgers and a few other schools that were safety/match.
I am applying to Columbia but Georgetown is about 10 min. away from where I live (Maryland) and George Washington is not far either. I can’t go to school that close to home.
Northwestern is a maybe.
Thank for all the great feedback, I really appreciate it! I just wanted to make sure I am not going to be stuck going to UMD. </p>
