Essay for njit

Counselors and teachers provide an external perspective about you as a person and applicant to NJIT. We expect you to provide us with all information pertinent to your application, while your recommender will provide an additional perspective/insight about you as a student.

NJIT is a leader in STEM education as well as disciplines in business, architecture and design. Our six specialized colleges offer students the opportunity to be a part of top-tier public research university. All first-year students who apply to NJIT must submit an official high school transcript.

For schools that don't use a ranking system, we consider a 3.0 GPA or higher to be equivalent. Partaking in rigorous curricula, such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, can give you an additional advantage.

Included in the Common Application is an essay. The purpose of the essay is to assess your writing ability and, more importantly, to learn more about you as an individual. This portion of the application helps us get to know you, assess mutual fit and better understand what you could contribute to NJIT.
