<p>I think you stand a fair shot, however if you want to improve it I would suggest getting around a 2050-2150 on the sat. That will help you get in and will also help you obtain scholarships to help pay for college (along w/ financial aid). Also, do well on the sat Subject Tests. GL</p>

<p>I think you look like you are in excellent shape for all of them. The only one that may be more difficult will be TCNJ.</p>

<p>Thats good to hear. I'm hoping to boost my GPA up last semester and first semester of next year, and I really want/need to crack the 2000 mark on the SAT to get some GOOD scholarship money from Montclair.</p>
