<p>I know my scores are on the low side, but I’m a hard working student who would enjoy a rigerous academic atmosphere.The schools I'm thinking about applying to are JHU, UPenn, CMU, BU, Rutgers,Columbia, Brandeis,Cornell and GW.</p>

<p>I hopefully will get into Rutgers (I live in NJ), but wanted to know if I'll get any merit aid/scholarship and how much?
Thanks

<p>i'm pretty sure scholarships are mainly based on sat scores and rank. your sat scores aren't too high, so i'm not sure what you would get.</p>

<p>You will make it into the Honors Program with those scores (your high rank helps you a lot). The honors program has nothing to do w/ scholarships, but it provides a lot of benefits. rchonors.rutgers.edu</p>

<p>Here is the rubric for how much money you will get: <a href="http://admissions.rutgers.edu/080101.asp#1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.rutgers.edu/080101.asp#1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>This is all for Rutgers College though.... I know Douglass gives out more money on top of that for lower scores but I assumed you were aiming for RC.</p>

<p>wow, thanks for ther website and the replies! :)</p>

<p>ahh i was looking for that site too.. haha.</p>

<p>good luck eeemillee!</p>

<p>So that's the max you can get? They don't offer any full tuition or anything like that? What about the Pharmacy program? Do they have more aid/merit awards available there for first-year students?</p>

<p>I ask this for OOS applicants. =\ I'll be applying this fall as OOS for their pharmD program.</p>

7

<p>we won't know the maximum amount you can get. i highly doubt you'll get a full-ride being an out-of-state student though. </p>

<p>rutgers is VERY cheap, even for out-of-state students. just apply and don't worry so much about tuition costs. once you graduate from the pharmacy program, you should be well-aware that you'll be making like 80k starting.</p>

<p>Well, yeah, but it's still crazy having to owe ~75,000 after graduating. I guess it's better than some schools. Lots of merit aid, but also higher tuition.</p>

<p>This is off topic, but i've applied to Rutgers with a very low cumulative GPA score and got rejected. I called and asked them if it was possible for them to take me off their system since I got rejected. They told me that it was indeed possible - just need a letter of consent. If I wanted to start over as an incoming freshman, will that be possible? or will they still have a tag on me?</p>
