Actually, my daughter just found out she got in. 1390 SAT, 4.25 GPA, 5 AP’s…and she only got 2K merit aid. That’s ridiculous. She’s gotten much more merit aid from out of state schools. She will not be going to TCNJ. It’s a shame they don’t give more to in-state students
We are in-state. 1410 SAT one sitting. Accepted with no merit aid. 
Yeah, I have a 1390 SAT and 3.7 GPA, and rowan offered me 10k, TCNJ barely gives anything. When did she get her decision, was it on her portal? @kvallu5274
@ACatSLP What is your GPA, was your essay good, also how much community service?
8 APs, Eagle Scout, 3.9 UW GPA, I thought he wrote really good essays too. So who knows.
He should have at least 2k in merit, people with worse stats than that are getting two. @ACatSLP
@kvallu5274 yeah I believe merit is much less than last year. I had similar stats with 1390 SAT, 100 weighted gpa, and 8 APs and also received 2k. Oh well, it’s still affordable since it’s a state school
I do not know if you applied to rowan, but you would easily get there 10k scholarship. I got it and I have a 1390 sat and a 3.7 weighted gpa
I think because it’s computer science? He’s probably lucky enough just to get into that program.
Have you applied to rowan
She checked her portal this morning and it was there. She hasn’t checked it regularly as it was never one of her top choices. My wife graduated from there so she kind of wants my daughter to go. But my daughter didn’t love it. And with the amount of merit aid she’s gotten from out of state schools, it comes out to the same price as TCNJ
What about Rowan, You can easily get 10k, so your tuition would be like 4k after that. @kvallu5274
I still did not get a decision, I hope I get in the next wave of the acceptance letter. Did anyone get TCNJ need-based scholarship?

Oops, posted twice. Haha
He didn’t. TCNJ is the closest school he applied to.
No–my daughter was only interested in TCNJ in NJ. And she wasn’t even that interested in it
You should definately try rowan, I had a 1390 and 3.7 weighted gpa and got 10k merit. Also, depends on what he is going to school for, rowans engineering is getting almost as good as tcnjs
