Benjimon, You are welcome to request reconsideration based on your spring grades but keep in mind that these requests rarely result in a changed decision. Please fax a letter along with your unofficial transcript to 732/445-0237 (Attention: Reconsideration Committee). Based on the GPA information you provided, it does not appear that this was the primary reason for our decision. Remember that we consider many other factors in addition to GPA such as strength of academic program, grade trends, whether or not your record includes many repeated courses, etc. For example, we do not admit students with weak and declining grades, regardless of how strong their GPA is… For these students, it usually takes at least two consecutive full-time semesters of challenging coursework with strong grades before they could be competitive in our admissions process at Rutgers-NB. Most importantly, because we cannot make any promises about admission, you should have a back-up plan for this fall.

Best wishes,
