Rutgers–Newark no longer requires the submission of SAT and ACT standardized test scores for students applying for spring 2022 and beyond. Please view the exceptions to this policy at admissions.rutgers.edu/test-optional-faqs. Please note that the SAT/ACT scores ARE required for students applying to the 7-year BA/MD Rutgers-Newark program.
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 2016. 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.
