<p>Will do...I'm just gonna look more into that site (<a href="http://www.fairtest.org%5B/url%5D">www.fairtest.org</a>) and see if any schools interest me. I'll probably end up applying to 6 schools, 3 in which will require sending SATs and 3 where it will be optional.</p>
<p>Another few questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Will me being arabic (only half though) help at all in admissions?</p></li>
<li><p>I understand TCNJ is a reach for me, but if I applied with Early Decision, wouldn't that help my chances of being accepted?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for the replies in advance...</p>
<p>I do not want to give you any incorrect advice. I would check w your gc; he/she should be advising you anyway. I doubt that ed at TCNJ will get you in though bcs their ave. sat score 2 years ago was 1305 (old). Last year it climbed a few more points. ED and an URM I don't think will help that much. There are plenty of ppl wanting to go to TCNJ. I would check w your gc and let them tell you the stats of those that got in from your hs the last 2 years.</p>
<p>TCNJ is extremely selective, even with the 40-someodd-percent acceptance rate.</p>
<p>You need 1100 minimum on the math and verbal combined for UMASS undecided. For business you need higher than that. </p>
<p>I am no expert but I would think of Rutgers ( although I am not sure of requirements, one of the state schools of NY, Hofstra, U Hartford....</p>
<p>Massparent, Rutgers is strictly a #s school, so a lower gpa or sat will make entry tough.</p>
<p>MOOSE88 - definitely consider taking the ACT - may be a better test for you all way around - alot different from SAT - especially if you struggle with the SAT - would certainly be worth your while - nothing to loose - but may have lots to gain.</p>
<p>try richard stockton University</p>
<p>its near atlantic city, and much nicer than william patterson</p>
<p>Also try temple University</p>
<p>I just visited Temple again...I assure you it is not NEARLY as bad as people say it is. No one was running from the "boarded-up" buildings, nor did I hear gunshots/loud shouts/etc. while I was there.</p>
<p>Temple's CAMPUS is very nice. Some of the buildings were opened a couple of weeks ago, and still has that great "new builiding" smell. It is also EXTREMELY safe. Call-boxes are there and very close together. You see campus police everywhere. For an urban campus, theft and other petty crimes are relatively low.</p>
<p>As for Richard Stockton, I remember it being a little...secluded. The town of Galloway is, well, lacking in...life. But the campus itself is rather lovely.</p>
<p>I used barron. They are the bests!
I used for all of APs and SATs. they really do have great preps for that</p>
<p>Wow, haven't been on here for awhile. Anyway, just thought I'd update everyone who's helped me in the process on what schools I'll be applying to:</p>
<p>Penn State University Park (Application is out already and I'm waiting on a acceptance/rejection letter...Reach)</p>
<p>TCNJ (Still finishing up the application...Reach)</p>
<p>Montclair State University (Safety)</p>
<p>William Patterson University (Safety)</p>
<p>Still deciding on a 5th school...I already have 3 NJ schools and only one out of state school (PSU). I've been looking into Iona and it seems like a good school. Apparently, it has a great business program which helps me out. </p>
<p>If anyone can tell me my chances at Iona, that'd be great!</p>
<p>BUMP...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>considering your stats as is and not going for huge reaches, but some maybe reaches still:
Maybe- University of Tampa, George Mason U, Rider, Hofstra, Suny Buffalo</p>
<p>I've looked into some of those colleges...there were a few pros about them but the cons outweighed them.</p>
<p>Any info on Iona College? What are my chances?</p>
<p>Bump...same question as post before.</p>
<p>did you retake the SAT?</p>
<p>Yes...they get posted online on Monday so I'll know then if I did better or not.</p>
<p>BUMP once again...as I said before, any info that anybody could give on Iona College?</p>
