What are my chances of getting into The College of New Jersey

What are my chances of getting into The College of New Jersey?
I am an Asian female and I am from out-of-state. I have a 3.01 GPA, a SAT score of 1590 (Verbal, Math, & Writing combined), and I rank in the top half of my graduating class. I've been taking dual-credit classes since the 11th grade and I've done many extraccuricular activities, including internships and volunteer work. I am of course applying for TCNJ regular decision deadline. What are my chances of getting in?

Answer 1 :
actually the school you want to go to is Embry Riddle - unfortunately - they're in Florida and Arizona but - well worth going there - you'll get a degree plus all your needed certifications including twin time good luck
Answer 2 :
The fact is that major airlines are not hiring and there are many more pilots than jobs. Many pilots who get jobs (not all do) are working for as little as $15 an hour without benefits. So, how do you improve your chances? Join the military and learn to fly. If 500 pilots apply for the one job that opens, who will get the job? The military pilot with thousands of hours of multi-engine flight time under all conditions or someone who graduated from an aviation college. Estimates are that actually getting the equivalent of military training would cost several million dollars. I know a pilot (now retired) and he got his start flying helicopters off of a destroyer. Join the military. So, to answer your question: West Point.

Answer 1 :
This consumer site might have posts by former students of either college: http://www.studentsreview.com and can type into search and then click "comments" if there are any. (The "red square" posts are the negative ones.) For U.S. colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ Perhaps you can look at the major(s) to which you'd like to concentrate and also look at distance and price.

What is the best college in new jersey to go to for engineering

What is the best college in new jersey to go to for engineering?
Would Kean University be a good one? if not then what? What about DeVry University?

Answer 1 :
Hello. Recommended Schools for Engineering are : DeVry University, Herzing University, Strayer University, Montclair State University and Ramapo College of New Jersey. Best of luck.
Answer 2 :
The best colleges for engineering in New Jersey are, in order from best on down: Princeton, Rutgers New Brunswick, Rowan U, Stevens Institute of Tech, NJIT. Kean U does not rank. But it also doesn't have an actively bad reputation in the field. If you can't get into one of the better ranked schools, or if you just really like Kean, then apply.
Answer 3 :
I can't imagine why you would even ask about DeVry? What a pathetic joke, designed to separate foolish people from their money. Would you hire an engineer with a DeVry "degree?" The answer with all the correspondence schools listed is equally irresponsible. Kudos to the listing of real schools with real programs, although I respectfully disagree and would put Rutgers-NB ahead of Princeton.
