Getting really frustrated... RU Admissions

Hi. I sent my application along with all of the required materials in before the extended deadline (11/15), and even received a letter from them via mail on 11/13, saying that they have everything. Until today, all of the schools I’ve applied to said that my application was “In Process”. My weighted GPA is a 3.08 (yes, it’s pretty low) and my SAT score is 1880 (CR+W+M). I’ve been reading topics on this board, and many say that my stats are more than enough to get into Rutgers without any problems. I’ve applied to Arts & Sciences in NB, Business in NB, Criminal Justice in Newark, and Arts & Sciences in Camden.

Today, all statuses except for Camden changed to “7th semester grades requested”. Why are they requesting for my 7th semester grades, if my stats should be enough to be accepted? Also, I applied before the early action deadline - why should I wait until after the 7th semester (around the beginning of February) if I applied early? I applied to Rutgers after being told that I shouldn’t have any problems getting in. Now, I’m extremely frustrated; I’ve been doubting my abilities, and now I’m worried that I’d be forced to go to a community college (not my preference). I’m from New Jersey, by the way.
