TCNJ applying Early Decision for Class of 2023

I have not had any updates regarding merit aid, so nothing for us at this point. Hoping a little somethin’ will come!

Someone told me they don’t give anything if SAT is below a 1360. They also look at GPA and rank. If your stats are higher than a 1360, it cannot hurt to email or call and inquire.

Thanks! I am going to do so this week.

Also, I called yesterday. PAWS set-up email should hopefully be sent by next week, but the rep encouraged me to send the housing deposit by mail instead. I got the sense that there may be issues right now with PAWS, so I am sending the check today. Just refer to your follow up email you receive after replying “yes” on portal for address.

I was just coming to see if others had same issue. I also think they are having issues with their new system. Will get a check in mail, thanks!

As a TCNJ parent, my tip to you is if you enroll and are given the opportunity to sign up for classes, do it right away. There may be some deadline, but classes can fill up (like all the pre-meds wanting to take Biology or Chemistry) so don’t wait!

Just wondering if your daughter received a large envelope in the mail when accepted vs a small letter ? We are waiting…

received NOTHING in the mail. What’s up TCNJ?

In all seriousness, I think they are working out some kinks with their computer systems at the moment. If you haven’t seen anything, check the applicant portal. You will likely see your update there.

I just called TCNJ for a minor matter, and so asked when “snail mail” acceptance packets will arrive. I was told it would be “within the next two weeks”. FYI :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing!!

Received the acceptance packet in snail mail today. Living in central NJ.

Did u apply ED1 or ED2?

so disappointed in TCNJ admissions process. They invited us over summer for a special event, touted the school and program, said the admissions process would be efficient but honestly it has been the slowest process so far. Surprised.

DD applied ED 1 @chowbellanj

Hey Mandy - Would u be able to share what is the target SAT score range my son has 1300 and close to 3.7 GPA we are trying for engineering major

Hey - My son is pursuing Biomedical as well can you please let us know what is the target SAT score range that your son got admitted for. My son is in the 1300 range with 3.7 GPA with A and B plus in Math and Bioology majors. He will apply next year

Hello - can anyone share what was the target cut off without aid for SAT scores this year appreciate any insight. Mys on is in the 1290 range

Baggy, I don’t have an answer to your question specifically, but I am sure TCNJ would be able to answer re target cut offs. I think that the Comp Sci and Engineering majors are the most competitive programs at TCNJ. I would suggest that if your son wants to attend TCNJ in one of these programs, it would be worth applying ED.
