<p>Why not just register for the SAT and take it. It’s not that expensive and if you do poorly, you don’t have to send your scores to any school. But you may surprise yourself and do quite well. And afternoon spend reading about how to approach the SAT may be all that you really need to score well enough. You don’t need top SAT scores to be accepted into Rutgers.</p>
<p>Also, a word of advice. You may want to apply to Rutgers as a private school student. Since you will be a Clonlara grad you can consider yourself a private school student. Just use their SCCB code when you fill out Rutger’s application. Last I checked (this was a couple of years ago), Rutgers required homeschooled students to supply not only SAT scores but SATII scores also. If you are a private school student then you are only asked to send in SAT scores. As far as I know, Rutgers requires SAT scores, so I’m sure that it makes any sense to apply without the required scores. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>BTW, NJ has some very excellent community colleges. If cost is a concern, go there for 2 years and then transfer. Just look into the articulation agreements first and make a plan. My daughter did this and it worked quite well for her as she has a plan all worked out upon entering comm college. Her final college costs were quite low.</p>
