I'm planning to apply to Rutgers in New Brunswick, NJ.

My stats so far.

GPA between 3.5 and 3.4 unweighted
1720 SAT 1200 Math and Critical Reading
Top 30% of class
4 years football
3 years TSA
Silver and bronze TSA achievement award
Teen CERT member (Community Emergency Response Team)
70+ volunteer hours
Going to volunteer at a hospital in the summer

I'm wondering if I should take the SAT and/or the ACT in the fall. Also what is the best time to apply to college? And lastly, is Rutgers New Jersey's best college after Princeton?

Also, I am wondering about scholarships. I been looking around the websites for them and I am really confused what to do.

No problem, your good. Rutgers Brunswick has a requirement of at least a 3.0 gpa. Yours is well above that and 70 hours of volunteering helps. I think you have a pretty good chance.

Yes, Rutgers Brunswick is rated the second best university in NJ, right after Princeton. In fact, they had the chance to turn into a private school if they wanted to (I've heard that by word of mouth). http://www.4icu.org/us/New-Jersey.htm

Can I ask what your major is? Because I'm also attending Rutgers Brunswick later.
