<p>That's about it guys, how do I look? I'm probably going to apply as biology because of my high test scores and AP grade.</p>

<p>For the school I think you know the answer, and for the biology major, you have a solid chance as well. However, it is not guaranteed as it is the toughest major to get into at TCNJ. My friend had very similar sat scores/gpa/classes and a plethora of solid leadership roles and volunteering experiences and was not accepted. However, you look like you have a 50% chance for bio!</p>

<p>Would it be better if I applied say, Computer Science ( a subject I’m strong in, Straight A+s in all of my Comp Sci classes) and attempted to change major to bio once I’m there?</p>
