Will I get into Rutgers University?

Is Rutgers University (New Brunswick) hard to get into? Do you think i have a good chance of getting in?

• I'm a sophomore in high school soon to be junior and i'm really looking at Rutgers to go to for college. I'm not quite sure what my GPA is but I've never got a C or below on a report card and mostly A's on my report cards. I'm soon to join student government and i'm going to volunteer at the animal shelter this summer. I do live in New Jersey. Senior year i'm going to be taking sociology and physiology and all different more difficult classes to appeal to colleges more. Do you think i have a good chance of getting in? What should i do to boost my chances? Is it going to be really hard?

• Answer:

  You have to find out what your GPA is to see if you can get in. You also have to take the SAT or ACT because Rutgers requires you send those scores as part of your application. GPA and test scores are probably majority of what you will be judged on although having extra activities and community service is also a good thing. Your personal statement can also help a lot in the decision process. Aim for A's and make sure you do very well on the SAT and you should be ok
