Grrr...SAT Scores...

<< < (2/43) > >>

USSEnterprise:
I want to stay in state so I don't have to pay a few $$$$ extra. That knocks it down to:
TCNJ - Good engineering and teaching, but again, high SAT requirements.
Rowan - Cheap, good reputation, especially if I do decide to become a teacher
NJIT - SAT Scores need to be very high, located in a ---smurfy--- area
Rutgers New Brunswick - Offers pretty much anything I could want as a major, but I don't want to be tempted to be constantly switching my major.

All of the above offer Engineering and general science majors, so I could potentially go to any, but since I really am leaning toward a teaching career as of late, Rowan is looking good.

I'd like to try for RPI or Seton Hall, but at 40k a year, it does not seem likely.

TOK:
I'm amazed TCNJ has high SAT requirements. When they do the news reports on their radio station, most read at about an 8th grade level.

Just what the country needs more engineers and teachers who fall in the 50% percentile in mathematics.... :dizzy:

NJIT does not have very high SAT requirements.  You should really look into it... and it's not a bad area.  Don't fall into the "oh no its Newark" BS that everyone wants you to believe.  I lived there for 13 years.

Don't discount schools for cost either... wait to see what you get in financial aid.  I would never have considered my school if I just looked at the bottom line price.  I wouldn't be here if I had to pay full cost.

RPI is a stretch with your grades, but there are a lot of good schools that you could potentially get into in the area.  I wanted to stay in the area as well.

And "tempted to switch majors" is a stupid reason to discount a school.. sorry.  Just because there are a lot of majors doesn't mean you'll switch.  My school offers biomedical engineering and other crazy degrees that I could never do myself.... didn't make me want to change just cuz it was there.  Plus you don't even have to declare at most schools for the first 2 years... just take classes.


Go look at Rutgers and NJIT.
