Rutgers Walk-through?

Question

Can anyone tell me what classes i need to take in high school to get into Rutgers(including if it is honors,ap,CP) and the SAT and GPA score

Answer 1

Rutgers admissions uses a grid system to see who gets in, and what kind of scholarships you can get. The components are 1. Class Rank in percenile. i.e. if you graduated 25th in a class of 250 students, your percentile is the 10th percentile. The other compontent is SAT score (total score). The SAT they use is a composite of the best scores for each of the time you take it. So, if you score better on the math one time and better verbal the othr, they take the best ones.

Take any classes you want that you can handle. Class rank means much more than difficulty of course initially. If you are in the top quartile (top 25%) of your class, and have an SAT score of 1800, you are guarunteed in, as long as you apply on time.

Rutgers has rolling admissions, so the earlier you apply, the better your chances. AP classes help a lot in preparing you for college. Take them if you can. You can earn a lot of credit since rutgers takes scores of 4 or 5. I came into Rutgers with 15 credits thanks to AP. If your grades or SAT scores are lower than what I said above, then you will have to show some extra traits to break ties. AP classes are great for that. Also, a well written admissions essay will help. Community service is a huge boost.

Remember, Rutgers has a huge application pool. Grades and SATs are most important. They wont even need to look at the rest of the application if you have good grades and SATs. Good luck, and study hard.


By the way, the only required classes to get into rutgers is that there aren't any. Your high school requirements are enough. Rutgers prefers 4 years of math and science over the standard high school requirement of 3, but again, these are tie breakers if you dont have the grades and SATs.
