Chance on University of Delaware and others

<p>On my list of ten schools UDel is the only one that NEEDS a teacher recommendation and it is my farthest reach. My info:</p>

<p>GPA:3.45
SAT: 1140/1630
pretty good extracurriculars
I live in NJ and go to a fairy good public school(we don't rank)</p>

<p>It was my top choice but, I know I have a very small chance of getting in and I do not know who to get a teacher recommendation from (but could get one if needed). Is it even worth going through the trouble of getting a rec. or should i just skip it.</p>

<p>Btw can you chance me on my other schools</p>

<p>Rutgers
George Mason U
Drexel U
Hofstra U
Montclair State U
Rowan U
U of Rhode Island
West Chester U
Salisbury U</p>

<p>bump come on i really need help on this one</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>1630 is your overall score?</p>

<p>The GPA is solid, I say you have an okay chance, get those SATs up though.</p>

<p>yea i know it’s low, anyone else?</p>

<p>rutgers-match cause you’re from NJ (i am too)
George Mason U - match
Drexel U - match
Hofstra U - safety
Montclair State U - safety
Rowan U-high match
U of Rhode Island-reach
West Chester U-safety
Salisbury U-not too sure but i’d probably say you’re in </p>

<p>Been accepted to Montclair St and Drexel!!!</p>

<p>GMU - in
Hofstra -in</p>

<p>The only two I know.</p>

<p>thanks tom. i noticed your location and i wanted to know if you think GMU is a commuter school?</p>

<p>UDel is my top school by far I have higher SATs but a 3.05 gpa, You should get in, hopefully you do it is a beautful school.</p>

<p>good luck, but i decided i am not going to apply to UDel because i never got around to asking any teacher for a recommendation</p>

<p>You have until 1/15 so you have the time but Rutgers is also a legit school to go to.</p>

<p>Just curious what your thoughts are of Montclair State? Considered a good school, reputation?</p>

<p>soccer- yea the deadline is 1/15, but the priority deadline is today and i think they will probably fill most of their freshman class with that.</p>

<p>jazlaumir- Montclair is definitely my safety which i don’t know so much about. If your not from NJ you might not know its about 15 miles from NYC, which is really cool and they have a train station right on campus which i think is awesome. It does have a commuter school reputation. I can’t say much about their academics, but i do not think it’s anything special</p>

<p>Thanks for the info!</p>

<p>Montclair and Rowan are solid state schools. Some students who do not want to go to Rutgers look into Montclair, Rowan, Stockton, Ramapo, and William Paterson, IMO. Out of the schools I just listed, I would think that Ramapo is the most competitive to gain admission to, and probably Stockton is the easiest for gaining admission. The others fall in the middle. I left out the most competitive NJ public for those not interested in Rutgers, which is TCNJ.</p>

<p>Yanksfan, congratulations on your acceptances!</p>

<p>Definitely in at all schools. Rutgers U may be a bit of a reach but you can offset it with some good ECs and essays!
