What are my chances?

<p>I'm a senior and I live in NJ.
Gpa: 3.1957
Class rank: 121/450-something(top 25%)
Taking: AP English, AP U.S. History, AP Psychology, AP Macroeconomics, and French 5 (the highest level)
SAT: 1560 with writing. Taking it again in october, trying for 1700.</p>

<p>Clubs: Medical Explorers 1 year(freshman), Key Club(which I've volunteered with) 2 years(junior and senior), Stage Crew 1 year (senior), Mock Trial 1 year (senior), String Club 1 year (senior), I was one of the editors of the school newspaper (junior year), I also took guitar lessons for two years (junior and senior) if that counts. </p>

<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic
Social situation: Live with my mother who makes 12,000 a year. My father never finished high school. </p>

<p>I know my stats are low but I've also been through a lot with my mother who did drugs and that really affected me.</p>

<p>So if I write a really good essay about my struggles and apply with Early Decision do you think I could get into TCNJ?</p>

<p>My major is going to be International Studies and I want to minor in Japanese.</p>

<p>how did you do on your october SATs?</p>
