The reason why I'm asking is because TCNJ's online College Board Profile has a lower acceptance rate, higher standardized testing scores, and higher overall GPA than Rutgers New Brunswick does. I got accepted into both...I'm trying to make a final decision. Do you have anymore advice for me (I'm going to major in business)? Also, I got waitlisted for Lehigh University's Business School. What are my chances in getting accepted into Lehigh because that is my top choice school. Thanks in advance!

Lehigh is the better school. If you get in -- go there.
It is hard to compare the College of NJ with Rutgers -- because they are different kinds of schools. TCNJ is a good regional school while Rutgers is a major research institution with lots of PhD programs.
For business, I would choose Rutgers over TCNJ.
As for Lehigh -- this is a tough year for getting into colleges. The top schools turned down many more students than usual. This means that the schools that are just below the very top schools (like Lehigh) have a better crop of student to choose from. You should let them know that you would love to go there and hope for the best.
Good luck.

Not sure, but probably Rutgers... College of NJ is generally not so well known, but Rutgers is fairly well known for it's academics throughout the country. (I'm from southern NY and I didn't even know there was such a school as the College of NJ).

Lehigh is the most competetive, but take the place with the best financial aid package. you can always supplement your education with internships and the like. no sense in getting into debt.
