Colleges and Universities A-Z Ithaca College

<p>Ithaca is definitely tied for my #1 choice, but only if I receive a substantial amount of aid.</p>

<p>Stats:
4.0/4.9 weighted GPA (my school doesn't do unweighted)
Top 6.5%, but will probably graduate top 5%
30 ACT but I retook it yesterday and am expecting at least a 31
All honors core classes and three APs (though I haven't taken any exams)</p>

<p>Activities:
Best Buddies - 2 yrs
Key Club - 2 yrs
Yearbook - 2 yrs
Student Council - 1 yr
Speech & Debate - 1 yr
& a small bullying prevention club - 1 yr</p>

<p>I've also worked 20-25 hrs/week jobs since February of this year</p>

<p>Thanks in advance guys</p>

<p>You’ll be accepted. As for aid, it differs based on the application pool. Ithaca gives out a lot of merit based scholarships. My stats were similar to yours and I received $18,000 from the Presidents Scholarship. You’ll receive that information in your acceptance package. I recommend you apply to the leadership scholars program and if you’re going for communications, the Park Scholar Program.</p>
