University of Delaware or Rutgers-Camden?

<p>I will be transferring from a community college with a 3.2 overall GPA. I'm majoring in Political Science. I am applying to both. What do you think my chances will be? Which school is better? I would be commuting to either one. Thanks!!</p>

<p>Do you live in Delaware or NJ? I would go to whichever one you will get instate tuition at.</p>

<p>I do live in NJ. But, University of Delaware isn’t too far from me either. It just seems like that UDel has a better college experience since the campus is much larger. I’m just hoping I get accepted to both so I can make my decision.</p>

<p>Rutgers would be $13K instate while UDel would be $27K OOS. What can your family afford?</p>

<p>Well I mean I do get financial aid and whatever else I would have to pay for I would cover with student loans.</p>

<p>Unless you get a Pell Grant which depends on your family income you FA will probably be all loans. That would be $54K+ tacked on to whatever you have already accumulated. IMO no public Us are worth OOS rates compared to in-state.</p>

<p>I do get Pell Grant.</p>

<p>I would do UDel without question unless there is no financial way to swing it. Camden, as you know, is not exactly desirable.</p>

<p>UD over Rutgers. Delaware > Jersey.</p>

<p>Do you think I have a good chance of being accepted into UDel? I’m highly involved with my community college and was active in my high school also. I am current secretary of our student government association. And I have rec letters from our township Mayor and a doctor and professor of the head of the psychology association of Philadelphia. So all of this stuff will be included in my application. I did just receive an “A” in my political science class this past semester also. Since that is my major, I wonder if they will look at that as something good too.</p>

<p>Camden was the MOST dangerous city in the US a few years ago. Not an ideal college town, coming from a fellow Jerseryer here.</p>
