UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS PROFILE FALL 2025 REGULARLY ADMITTED STUDENTS Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, welcomes applications from students who demonstrate preparedness for our academic programs. The number of students we admit is determined by the number of spaces available in each entering class, the number of students who apply, and the quality of the applicant pool. These factors change from year to year and vary with each Rutgers school. The charts indicate the SAT and ACT score ranges and grade-point averages for the middle 50% of high school students admitted to Rutgers for fall 2025. Submission of SAT and ACT test scores is optional for students applying for admission to Rutgers University–New Brunswick and Rutgers University–Camden. Rutgers University–Newark* no longer requires the submission of SAT and ACT standardized test scores for most undergraduate applicants. Students who choose not to submit a test score will still receive full admission consideration. We conduct a holistic review of each student’s application, including academic strength and performance, the essay, extracurricular activities, school choice, and more. Students who want to submit a standardized test score with their application for 2026 admission may still do so.
