Hey,
So I am currently a high school senior in Bergen Country. I am looking to go into nursing, and TCNJ is my top choice followed by Rutgers. I know that nursing is very competitive in these schools and I was hoping you guys could give me your input on my chances getting admitted. I have a SAT score of 1300, 670 on Math and 620 on English. I currently have a weighed GPA of a 4.373. I have taken 4 AP classes my junior year, along with 2 honor classes (AP Stat, AP US History, AP Language and Composition, AP Physics, Pre-Calc Honors, and Band Honors). This year I am taking 4 AP classes and 1 honor class (AP Literature, AP Biology, AP Calc, AP Comparative Government, and Psychology Honors). My extracurriculars include Culture Club, Mock Trial, National Honors Society, World Language Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America, and Band. I volunteer at various summer camps and in the emergency room at a local hospital. I was also a Boys State Delegate. Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Also, I am ranked 3rd in my class out of 200, play Volleyball on the JV team, hold the position of Vice President for the Student Government Association, and I am the Corresponding Secretary for NHS.
Also any college recommendations with good nursing programs are appreciated!
Sounds like you are a solid candidate!
What were your AP test scores?
I’d look at Rowan as well - they are building a hospital about 2 miles from campus and are going to have a close relationship with it, so that’d be great
Looks good @eric4532 . Good luck with nursing
Thank you so much @readthetealeaves !
Hey @NJRoadie its really reassuring to hear you say that, thank you! Of the 4 exams I took I passed 3. I got a 1 on Physics, a 3 on Stat, a 3 on US History, and a 4 on English Comp.
Hi, I’m frantically looking at all the TCNJ forums as decisions for early decision are coming soon and I’m so nervous. Not sure if anyone will answer, but I applied Early Decision I for Nursing. I’m a high school student from Monmouth County. I got a 1370 on my SATs, 720 on reading and 650 on math. I’m in a special program at my school for writing and literature in which I had to apply for in 8th grade. I am in the top 10% of my class (they don’t tell us class rank at our school, but the highest decile they will tell you is 10%). I took 3 AP classes last year (AP Lang, APUSH, and AP Physics) and got two 5’s of the AP tests. I also took 2 honors classes (Honors Modern Art - for my program, and Honors Pre Calc). This year I’m taking 4 AP classes (AP Literature, AP Bio, AP Government, AP Calculus) and 2 honors classes (Honors Modern American Culture and Honors Philosophy- both for the program I’m in). My GPA is a weighted 5.03; I received straight A’s all of high school. I run the debate club in my school, work, volunteer at a dog shelter and have become a certified EMT over the summer of my junior year. I am currently the captain of the cadet line for my local first aid squad and I volunteer on the squad frequently. I am also in National Honors Society. I would really love any input, as I am getting super nervous as December 1st is only a couple days away! Thank you
