What are my chances of getting into Rutgers University (NB)? - Lauren - 04-08-2014 06:31 PM

I am currently a Junior in high school.
I am interested (but not certain) in majoring in English Language, History, and/or Theatre Arts.

GPA: 3.7 or 3.8

AP/Honorary classes I have taken or will take:
-10th grade Honors English
-11th grade AP English
-12th grade AP English
-AP Statistics
-AP World/European History

Other classes relevant to my possible majors:
-Global History
-American History
-Humanities/Human Rights & the Law
-Intro to Theatre Arts
-Advanced Theatre Studies (Independent Study)
-Literature of Suspense
-Media Aid (library work)
-Debate
-Speech
-American Classic Novels & Short Stories
-Film & Literature

We just took the ACT, so we haven't received our scores yet... however, I am guessing I got somewhere in the range of 24-28
I have not taken the SAT yet. What score should I aim to get?

Clubs/activities:
-Drama Club (will be all 4 years of high school)
-Writing club (3 years total)
-Social Justice Project (2)
-National Honors Society (2)
-Key Club (1)
-Library volunteer (2)

I am out-of-state. I go to a school ranked in the top 10% for public high schools. 25% of our students have a GPA of at least 3.5, take at least 2 AP classes each semester, and are involved in at least 2 clubs. MANY students (surprisingly) have a GPA of 4.0 or higher.

What are my chances?! Do I have a better chance enrolling at a local college, then transferring to Rutgers after a couple of years? ...or should I aim to go to Rutgers right out of high school?

Thanks in advance!
