<p>Pretty good essays. Worked hard on them. Very personal, positive, and integrated my involvement in school newspaper</p>

<p>applied to TCNJ, and UMD a little late. Both rolling admissions schools. applied to UMD before deadline and TCNJ 12/15. Do you guys think that might hurt my chances.</p>

<p>Also applied right beofre deadline to private school. But probably wont adversely affect me because are not rolling admissions.</p>

<p>Yeah Rutgers is really on the ball. There staff is curtious and knowledgable and they are quick with acceptances.</p>

<p>It really is an underated school. The criticism ive seen with the school is that each student is only seen as a number, not an individual.</p>

<p>As far as TCNJ. It is up and coming but not well known outside of NJ. Very selective and ranked five regionally in masters</p>

<p>There rank will rise in the future as more and more comp students apply. They are getting some acknowledgment.</p>
