Hello everyone, I plan on applying to TCNJ regular decision for a degree in Business Administration - Finance with a French minor and was wondering on my possible chances just to get a more accurate idea. Thanks for reading.

WGPA: ~3.85 (once application is submitted).
4 AP’s + 2 Honors throughout high school.

  • Upward progression with gpa and rigor.
    SAT: 1280 (this is what worries me the most).

Activities:
4 years high school and club soccer.
junior year: DECA, Junior Achievement.

Volunteer:
freshman/sophomore year: Assistant teacher and helper at my local parish.
junior year: Took a 2 week trip with a company partnering with my school to Bolivia in order to learn about the country’s culture and to partake in various volunteer projects helping local communities there.

Awards:
In my school’s NHS chapter.
French I Award
Finance Award

  • I also wrote my college essay on the French language and how I have become obsessed and highly motivated to continue learning and integrating the language into my daily life.

1280 would be above the 50% percentile for SAT…I would imagine you have a good shot!

@bopper Thank you!

1280 is a little low for the Finance major. It is one of the more difficult majors to get into. For the school you should be fine but I have seen higher sat and act scores wait listed for that major. Hopefully works out for you. Also , if you are in the top 10% of your high school class that would be a strong positive too. Its an excellent program.

@stones3 I hope it works out as well, thanks for the feedback.
