Chances for ED into nursing program?

<p>I'm a senior in high school and I'm set on applying to TCNJ for nursing. I plan on applying for Early Decision.</p>

<p>As of last January (they haven't given us our updated transcripts), I have a 3.89 W GPA (around a 3.3-3.4 uw?) and I'm in the top 20% of my class. I got an 1150 on my SATs (1740 with writing component) and I'm taking them again this October.</p>

<p>I've taken all Honors classes since my freshman year except for math. This year I'm taking AP English and AP Biology in addition to college prep Pre-Calc. I also took Spanish 9th, 10th,and 11th grade. (remained at an academic level in math, honors/ap english throughout, honors science classes throughout, took honors history 1st and 2nd year but dropped it for the academic class during junior year)</p>

<p>Leadership</p>

<ul>
<li>Leader of my church's music ministry team since 2007 and involved since 2005 </li>
<li>Group/Activities Leader in my church's vacation Bible school program for kids ever summer since 2008 </li>
<li>Vice President of my church's youth group since 2009</li>
</ul>

<p>I volunteered at a local hospital this summer, as well. I would've been involved in more extra curricular activities in school had i not been so involved at my church. </p>

<p>ECs:
School Musical (10, 11)
Gifted and Talented (9, 10)
Religious Club (10,11)
School Newspaper (10)</p>

<p>I know I probably wouldn't get into tcnj for regular decision. As it's my number one choice, I'm willing to apply for early decision.</p>

<p>anyone have any feedback for me?</p>

<p>I think the nursing program is one of the more competitive ones. Your GPA is pretty good, but your SAT is below average so it’s good you’re taking it again. Aim for a 1300+ but anything above a 1250 should be good enough. Have you taken any other AP classes other than English and bio? Your ECs should be fine but make sure you mention on your app how much time you spent doing church stuff. Get your SAT higher and I think you have a good chance if you apply ED.</p>
