Hey did you apply/ are you going to? You definitely should try at least because it is a great school.

I’ll let you in on a little known secret though. I got in with a 1200 SAT score whereas at the time TCNJ’s acceptance was in the 1400s! My grades in highschool also weren’t exactly stellar. How did I do it? I took a bunch of AP classes and was involved with hs extracurriculars. I also wrote a killer admissions essay and when TCNJ emailed me basically saying they were on the fence about me and wanted to know if I had any last words before their final decision, I gave it everything I had and then some. I ended up getting accepted, and several of my friends who had better grades and better SAT scores did not get in.

I’m a junior now, and to be honest, you may have more of a chance than I did because TCNJ is letting in larger classes now in order to make a little more money (thank you, Governor Christie).
