You did not apply to Rutgers, since it appears you may be a NJ resident?

If you don’t want to be dragged down by loans and don’t want to fight with your parents about money over the next four years, go to one of your full ride schools (TCNJ or NJIT, or one of the other schools if it gives you a full ride or close to it). Both TCNJ and NJIT are ABET accredited in computer science and computer engineering, so their degree programs meet a reasonably high minimum standard, although you may have to be more aggressive at finding companies to apply to for internships and first job at graduation, than if you were at a more high profile school for CS.
