Should I be concerned about chem and reading?
Also, as a NJ resident, how do my chance look for RUSDM?

My back story:
I suffered a personal tragedy in my freshman year that took a toll on my grades (when I took Gen Chem I and II, as well as my math courses). However, since then, I retook Chem I (with an A) and Chem II (with a B+). I also got straight A's in Bio I and II, Organic Chem I and II, Biochem, Cell Biology and Neuroscience, and two 4.0 semesters. I also just released a publication based on my research, and I am continuing to conduct research with my current lab. Do you guys think this upward trend will be considered, or will they scrap my application based on the numbers I present? Without freshman year, both my science and overall GPAs would be around 3.76.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone give me some insight?

I think you have great scores! Congrats, your hard work has paid off : ) I think you are a competitive applicant. When do you plan on applying?

I have applied for this cycle, but my primary choice is Rutgers, so I wanted to get a better idea of where I stand. Thanks for your feedback!

I honestly think you have a good chance since you are in-state and you applied early ( I assume). Best of luck to you!

What did you use for chem? Was it helpful? Taking exam in a couple of days, any help would be apprecitated! Based on RUs average and your ECs, think you have a solid shot at acceptance. Goodluck!

Thanks! I used Destroyer and Chad's videos, but I think Destroyer was a bit much. Chad's was more representative in my opinion. I definitely wish I would have gone through all of his videos.

Hands down, Chad's videos.
