Admission by Examination
You may apply for Admission by Examination if you have not completed high school. Candidates for Admission by Examination apply by taking the SAT or ACT and three SAT II subject area tests of the College Entrance Examination Board, including English and mathematics. The third examination may be taken in a subject of your choice, unless you are applying to the College of Nursing, the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, or the School of Engineering. For these schools, the third subject must be a science. SAT scores must include at least one set from the new SAT, administered in March 2005 or later. ACT scores must include the optional Writing Test.
Applicants who do not have the required academic subjects for schools on the Camden, Newark, and New Brunswick campuses may be admitted on the basis of their scores on the relevant SAT II subject area tests, or they may be required to make up specific subject deficiencies.

Early Graduation
Students who plan to apply as high school juniors
must be competitive for admission, present strong high school records, and demonstrate readiness for college. If you will not have a high school diploma by the time of enrollment, apply for Admission by Examination (see above) and submit a transcript that includes your grades for the first half of your final year.

GED Holders
Applicants who have earned a General Educational Development (GED) certificate must submit an official report of their GED examination scores as well as transcripts from any high school(s) attended. First-year applicants with a GED generally apply for Admission by Examination (see above). However, for exceptionally strong applicants, the SAT II subject area tests may be waived.
