my chances at TCNJ!

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a white female, a junior in high school, and I would like to know what you think about my chances of getting into TCNJ. I plan to major in education and possibly minor in drama. This year I am taking three honors courses and I took two previous honors courses. Next year I will take two APs and two honors courses. My GPA is a 3.9 but I don't know what it would be weighted. I took the SATs last year and received a 1920 (verbal-640, math-570, writing-710) but I hadn't had Algebra 2 yet so my score will most likely increase this year.
I was also accepted into a class called Teen Pep which is where juniors teache high school freshmen about sex. Only 50 out of around 300 students were accepted and I was told this course looks great to colleges.</p>

<p>I have been involved in three community service clubs over the past years, and this year I am involved in Habitat for Humanity as well. I was in the school play last year and hope to make it again next year. I also live in NJ, and I was told they accept more in-state students.</p>

<p>My chances?? Thanks!</p>

<p>Your SAT is a little low for TCNJ, try shooting for at least 1300 when you retake it! Other than that, keep working hard, stay involved in the community and show some interest in the College! (visit on an Open House day, take a tour, etc.) You're still a junior so you have enough time to show that you are a diligent worker (don't let your grades slip!) and a great student. I think you'll have a pretty decent shot at TCNJ - do some studying before taking the SAT again and good luck! :)</p>

<p>I meant to say that my SAT was 1920 with the writing added in. I don't know if you thought I meant 1210 with all three sections but I actually only gave the verbal and math scores. Verbal was 640, math was 570, and writing was 710. Does that change your reply at all? Sorry for the mistake!</p>

<p>No, I only meant critical reading and math score together- that's why I suggested bringing it up to 1300 or more! (Or above 2000 if you want to count writing).</p>
