Junior here, started thinking about Rutgers. Does anyone know what GPA they typically look for? Or if someone got accepted or rejected, can you share your insights about the GPA you had? Appreciate any and all advice.
Rutgers University is somewhat competitive, and the average GPA of admitted students tends to hover around 4.0 on a weighted scale.
However, keep in mind that these figures are only averages. There might be students admitted with lower GPAs and students who aren't admitted with higher GPAs. Admission depends on various other factors as well, including class rigor, extracurricular activities, test scores, and personal essays. Your GPA is an important aspect of your application, but it's not the only thing that Rutgers considers.
Keep in mind to perform as well as you can and highlight your strengths in your application. If your GPA is slightly lower than average but you have other strong attributes, you could still be a strong contender for admission.
