Just don't bother, the campus is not friendly to commuters anymore like its reputation states it has been. The dorms are shitty and there is no point even getting on the extremely long waiting list. The academics here really suck and the people are generally assholes, like anywhere you will meet some cool people though. The best advice to anyone is just don't go here.

To get into this university you need to prove that you are very academically orientated. Strong grades are a must. Also there shouldn't be a lack of extracurricular activities.

I transferred in with a 2.8 GPA and 60 credits from a community college.

Admission to MSU is not too hard, however, it is becoming increasingly more competitive. What did I do?
1. Always aimed for the best in high school (all the typical things that colleges look for, such as excellent high school transcript, class rank, involvement outside of the classroom, SAT scores etc)
2. A word about the SAT: if for some reason you're a disadvantaged student for this test, don't think you can't do well. This test is designed to make people like you fail, but you can overcome it. I can't tell you how to "beat the system" because I simply don't know how. However, I can tell you that there are ways for you improve the skills that this test supposedly measures. Straight up, here's what I did: I borrowed an SAT booklet from someone, reviewed all the basic Math concepts in there (and more), wrote down the definition of and studied every single word that I did not know or understand, read many books the summer prior to taking the SAT for the 2nd time and did the same thing (study as many words as possible, etc). Doing this took me about 6 months, and raised my score from an 1150 the first time to a 1340 the second time.
3. Be very thourough when filling out your application. Read everything at least twice, discuss everything with whomever you have to every step of the way (counselor, parents, someone knowledgeable of these things, etc). Watch out for small fine prints that hide the many benifits or shortcomings of a particular school or program. For example, for MSU, I'm part of the 8-year/BS/MD program I mentioned, and the only reference to it in the MSU application is a small leaflet attached to one of the pages of the application, about 3 inches wide and as long as the other pages of the application booklet.
4. Be on time for everything and watch out for deadlines! Punctuality counts everywhere, such as placement test, SATs, interviews. MSU does not require one unless you want admission into a special program, such as my program. In my case, I had to attend 2 official interviews and about 3 mock interviews. I also had to apply by Dec. 15, whereas most MSU students had to apply by march 1.
I think that pretty much it. Wish you good luck. I can'r garantee you'll like MSU or that you'll get accepted, but I'm just telling you that I do. It's up to you to make up your mind. Peace.

I recieved a 1310 on my SAT's and I am a minority
Moreover, my parents are not rich
so there you go. I came here because
I could commute while taking care of my
mother who has system lupus.
I transferred the next year to NYU and majored in NEUROSCIENCE
at the Center for NEUROSCIENCE. took the GRE
Recieved a 1300 and now I am applying to YALE, PRINCETON, STANFORD, BROWN, UCSF, UCSD & UCLA. Just because you are a minority doesnot mean you are automatically dumb.
Don't be so bitter my stupid white friends.

Well I did everything they wanted applied sent sat scores and high school transcript that's pretty much all
Business - Management and Administration
Easy; just be a minority or have at least a 1000 SAT
Chemistry
Education
I would recommend an average sat score of 1100-1150. Achieving this goal will make youre stay at montclair a successful one as long as you apply yourself.
