The primary emphasis in admission
is on academic promise. All the materials the student
submits-application, transcripts, test results-are reviewed. Admissions
committees look for evidence of promise in the student`s grades, trend
in grades, rank in class, strength of program (such as number of
academic subjects, honors courses, advanced placement), and test
scores.
Candidates for admission by transfer from another
college or from another division of Rutgers must show evidence of good
academic performance. Students who have been dismissed from another
college for academic reasons are not considered for admission until at
least one year has elapsed since the date of dismissal.
