<p>I am fairly confident that i can get in to TCNJ. a friend of mine from the same high school just got in with much lower scores and GPA than me. I was really wondering if I had the potential for any scholarship money</p>

M: 760</p>

<p>ACT: 32</p>

chemistry- 710
physics- 780</p>

<p>will have 7 AP exams by end of senior year (chem, bio, phys, us history, euro history, economics, english)</p>

<p>top 15%-20% of class (very competitive high school)</p>

<p>Depends what state you’re from</p>

3

<p>You have great qualities but bdmet is correct your state could matter- TCNJ only accepted about 100 out of staters</p>

4

<p>Haha is that true? I’m one of em! xD</p>

5

<p>Yep so says the New Jersey Star Ledger…there are approximately 1328 or so in the class of 2013 and only 101 were from out of state. Congrats bdmet :)</p>

6

<p>Let’s make sure we get the numbers straight. 101 decided to enroll. That is not the same as accepting 101 out of staters. Did the Star Ledger have the accepted number?</p>

7

<p>TCNJ is desperate for out of state students , especially if you are from outside the tri state area.
Out of state applicants will have an EASIER time getting accepted than NJ applicants.</p>

8

<p>Oops sorry I did mean enrolled the first time! Sorry for the confusion. I threw out the issue so I don’t know if it mentioned the number accepted but if anyone has that info please share :)</p>

<p>Thanks HazelEyes!</p>

<p>I realize that it is easier for OOS apps, but I’m sure I would’ve made it anyway. I was just interested to know the total # of OOS’ers there will be!</p>

<p>And in-state out-of-state matters in terms of scholarships in deehans case</p>

<p>You’re welcome bdmet! And yes you are correct about the scholarships.Another interesting bit of info…it seems that as some NJ colleges have increased the size of their freshmen class (Rutgers I believe is about 100 more than last year) TCNJ has maintained the same class size but has increased the average SAT scores.</p>

<p>tolkiengirl92,</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance at getting accepted even if you’re not top 15%. Good SAT and great ECs.</p>

<p>hey thanks! I’m just so nervous. I want this so badly, i’ve sent in supplementary information also. Ie- videos (Im a classical indian dancer) of my performances, and a portfolio of my dance work so far. Would that help or hurt my chances?</p>
