I’m a student from Charlotte NC
Demographics: White female, age 16
EFC: $0
First Generation: Yes
EC’s: Speech and debate (many awards, leadership position held), Student council for two years, community service
GPA: UW:2.85 W:3.21
ACT: Comp 27
ACT Writing: 7
Recommendations: Fantastic
Major: Communications/ Public Relations
Extra info: I’m a student graduating a year early due to family circumstances, and my father passed away in May of 2016 which contributed to my low GPA. I have had mostly B’s and have taken 5 AP classes including this years course load.

Schools Applied: Drexel, TCNJ, Kean, Rider, and Seton Hall.
Drexel: Accepted with $11,100 in merit and $32,420 in need based
TCNJ: Verbally guaranteed acceptance, just awaited letter
Kean: Accepted with $2,100 a year in merit and awaiting need based
Rider: Accepted with $25,000 a year in merit, awaiting need based
Seton Hall: Accepted with $27,000 a year in merit, awaiting need based
Attending: Rider is my top choice, but I’m not making any commitments until I’ve received all financial aid packages.

I’ll keep updating as I receive need-based packages. I was selected for verification so they may be a bit later than everyone else. Hope this helps anyone who was curious about chances and stuff!

of your listed schools , TCNJ is by far the strongest academically. Good luck

@stones3 It definitely is the strongest academically but the out of state tuition is killer and the scholarship opportunities are lackluster. Thanks for the luck!

@SeinfeldFan1 Mainly just really wanted a change. I really loved Jersey when I came to visit and I already have some friends and family up there, so I figured, why not? Also thank you and good luck with everything! Where all did you apply?
