Hi! I went to a high school in NJ. I would like to go to a college near or in New Jersey. Thanks!

I took 5 Honors classes

  1. Biology
  2. Chemistry
  3. Geometry
  4. Algebra 2/Trig
  5. Pre Calculus

I took 2 AP classes and currently doing 2 as a senior

  1. Physics A (scored 3)
  2. Computer science A (scored 4)
    Currently as a senior i am taking and AP Physics B, and AP Calculus AB.

I scored a 30 on the ACT and 1250/1600 on the SAT.

3.4 unweighted GPA,

I was in the programming club at my school from sophomore year to senior and i did my volunteer work. I got to Tae kwon do after school and i went to 5 tournaments (got certificates from each tournament) and i got a 3rd degree black belt (have certificate from Kuikiwon). I also do piano, will the after school things i do help me in the application process? I want to major in computer science or software engineering. Thanks

What’s your weighted GPA (that’s what Rutgers uses)? Based am the admissions profile on the Rutgers admissions website (see http://admissions.rutgers.edu/Academics/AdmissionsProfile.aspx and click thru to the pdf), and assuming your weighted GPA is above 3.6, you would place in the middle 50% for both GPA and ACT … thus giving you a very good chance for admission.

@EECESE
According to what @mtown27 said above and the link they posted, it indicates a good range of what the average student has. As you can see from this link, it shows that Rutgers considers the gpa and sat as very important.
