<p>hm, i got an email saying i was put into a "second review phase", and that' i'll probably find out by april 1st now. is this deferral? then there was a link saying if i would like to "tell them why tcnj is my number one choice school" is this common among tcnj applicants? i find out from UMD in about a week. If i get accepted there, i'm just going there. i don't want to wait this out any longer. : (</p>
<p>none of you found out yet?</p>
<p>You are probably on the border line for acceptance (that is why they sent you the email and are doing a second review phase). This is not the same as deferral, and I don't think it is very common. However, you shouldn't make your final college choice based on who gives you your decision first. If you like tcnj a lot, tell them why you want to go there, and they will probably accept you.</p>
<p>cool, thanks for the clarification. yea, i'll probably tell them why it is my number one school, even though it really isn't.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what were your stats?</p>
<p>in state
1470/1600 2150/2400
3.815 Weighted
good extra curriculars, essay, rec's
accounting</p>
<p>i'm guessing maybe the rigor of my classes is what prompted the second review. throughout high school i've only taken spanish honors, english honors, ap statistics, and wind ensemble, which is a band honors course.</p>
<p>That might be it but your weighted GPA is pretty high for not having too many honors/AP classes. Your SAT is extremely good for TCNJ. Maybe they thought you were using them as a safety. My friend got a second review email but her SATs were like a 1050/1650. Her GPA was much like yours. I'm sure that if you show more interest, they'll let you in. Good luck!!</p>
<p>yea, i just got the second review phase. does this mean i passed a first phase? or their unsure? whats the deal?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it means that you're borderline, and your decision most likely won't come until April 1st.</p>
<p>i have the same problem. I got a second review letter. does this mean i have more of a chance of getting in or less of a chance because i really haven't heard of many people who were borderline students</p>
<p>Has anyone placed in the second review received a respone yet?</p>
<p>Has anyone?</p>
<p>nope. i sent in my essay though..</p>
<p>Dear Saged,</p>
<pre><code> My son recently received a similar letter from TCNJ and we just checked the TCNJ website today and found out that he was admitted. If you have not already done so, go to the TCNJ main website and check the status of your application. Hopefully, it will be posted....Good luck. We saw your post about the letter and thought it might help for you to know that someone else got a similar letter from the College. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
