Qs about BA/MD at TCNJ

Colleges and Universities A-Z The College of New Jersey

<p>Hi, I was wondering if:</p>

<li><p>Does TCNJ’s med program applied into as a high schooler, or is it for people that are currently attending TCNJ?</p></li>
<li><p>Do they also have a combined BA/DMD or essentially a combined program for Dentistry as well, because I’m leaning more towards dentistry at the moment?</p></li>
<li><p>How does TCNJ compare to Rutgers socially?</p></li>
<li><p>What are my chances for the undergrad college, I know there is no hope for the BA/MD if I apply as a high schooler (sorry, I know this really ****es people off. Dont answer this if u dont want to)?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Here are my stats:
*I am an Asian Indian Male
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon, Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school.
*student body at school = 500+</p>

<p>The Numbers/ECs
*Freshman year:
4.0 with honors in 2 classes for both semesters</p>

<p>*Sophomore Year:
3.8125 overall for both semesters
(Bs in AP Chem 1st sem, Precalc 2nd sem, Social Studies 1st sem)</p>

<p>*Junior Year (projected)
Human Anat/Phys-A,A
IB Bio HL 1-A,A
Spanish 3-A,A
IB Calculus-A, A (might be at worst 1 “B”)
IB Psychology-A,A
Team Sports-A
IB English-B,B (might get 1 A)
IB Tok 1-B</p>

<p>IN SUMMARY: I should finish high school with at the very very worst a 3.67 or 3.7 UW GPA, but I’ll do what ever I can to prevent that from happening.</p>

<p>*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
*IB Diploma Candidate (to be)
*Varsity tennis 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Team 4 years (will have 4)
*World Quest Trivia 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Club Treasurer (1 year)
*Science Club VP (2 years)
*Math Club VP (2 years)
*Portland Youth Philharmonic (will have 3 years)
*Mathfest Algebra 2 1st place freshman year
*OIMT Participant Fresh Year
*Mathfest Participant (will have 4 years)
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 150-175 volunteer hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*Right now I get about a 1920-2050 on the SAT, 26-30 on ACT according to Practice Tests for SAT, and the PLAN (it’s like the PSAT for SAT except the ACT version) on ACT, but I’m shooting for at least a 2100 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT</p>

<p>Hi, I was wondering if:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Yes, you can apply to the Med program as a high schooler. </p></li>
<li><p>I don't really know.</p></li>
<li><p>Socially, TCNJ and Rutgers are very different in my opinion. TCNJ seems to have a way more friendly atmosphere, but Rutgers definitely is less secluded. However, TCNJ-er seem to say that they have no complaints of the social scene and there's plenty to do. Rutgers is a LOT larger and would probably have more parties and more diversity. </p></li>
<li><p>You seem to have good stats for getting in esspecially since your high school is so competitive. However, TCNJ is getting more and more selective, so this year it's really hard to say due to the fact that their applicant pool may have somewhat higher stats than previous years.</p></li>
