can u please tell me which college is good for astronomy that's closest to or in New Jersey?

Question

please do tell and tell me the sat scores and gpa required

Answer 1

In NJ -- Princeton University is best. Rutgers is second best. No other school is worth going to.

In NYC, Columbia and NYU would be the best. There are other good schools in NY (e.g., Cornell, Syracuse) -- but I wouldn't describe them as being near NJ.

In PA, the best schools in eastern PA for astronomy are University of Pennsylvania, Lehigh University and Villanova University

Answer 2

If you want to be an astronomer, study physics. There really aren't any jobs in astronomy if you don't have a PhD, and you need much more physics than astronomy to get into graduate school for astronomy.

Columbia University in NYC has a good physics and astronomy program. However, they are very selective - you'll need a high GPA and SAT.

Answer 3

Try
--Rutgers: GPA depends on which campus you'll be attending; --Princeton: One of the best schools in the country. This site will tell you the GPA/scores you will need: http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/
Those are the only schools in NJ with an Astro major. But nearby, there is...
--Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA: Here are the admission stats: http://my.cmu.edu/site/admission/menuitem.edce48707aab43c019300710d4a02008/
--Penn State, University Park, PA: Admission stats: http://www.engineering-colleges.info/Profiles3/Penn_State_U.htm
--UPenn: Also one of the best schools in the country...statsL http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/profile.php
--U Pittsburgh: Stats: http://www.pitt.edu/~oafa/stats.html
--Swarthmore College: Swarthmore, PA; stats: http://www.commondataset.org/
--Villanova University, Villanova, PA (in a consortium with Swarthmore and some other schools), stats: http://www.villanova.edu/enroll/admission/application/undergrad/statistics.htm

Answer 4

Rutgers would be a good choice
