The charts below indicate the approximate SAT and ACT score ranges and grade-point averages for the middle 50% of students regularly admitted to Rutgers for fall 2021. Please note: "Middle 50%" means that 25% of regularly admitted students exceeded these ranges and 25% of regularly admitted students had scores and grade-point averages below these ranges. Rutgers conducts a holistic review of each student's application that takes into consideration many more factors than test scores and cumulative grade-point average.
Due to the uncertainty of future test dates and availability of standardized tests, Rutgers-New Brunswick will make submission of SAT and ACT test scores optional for students applying for spring or fall 2022 admission. More information on the test optional policy and test optional FAQS can be found here.
