Chance for Presidential Scholarship?

[agador]

<p>Hoping someone might be able to tell me what they think DD's chance at the Presidential Scholarship might be:</p>

<p>32 ACT
4.75 Weighted GPA
3.9 Unweighted
Rank 25 of 573 (top 4%)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars primarily focus on music. Pianist for 10 yrs w/ several 1st place awards at large competitions and performances in Carnegie Hall. HS and All State chorus. Volunteer piano teacher all 4 yrs of HS for underprivileged youth in our community. NHS.</p>

<p>Worked at music studio all through HS</p>

<p>Any idea if she is in the ballpark? If so, how does Loyola decide the amount awarded? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your thoughts...she needs the $ in order to make attending Loyola a possibility!</p>

<p>She sounds like a good candidate for merit scholarship. My D has one and her numbers were not nearly like this.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply…we are hopeful she will receive a nice merit award to make this a viable option for her. Do you know if awards are given out in certain increments? I can’t seem to find specific info on their website. I think I read somewhere that $25,000 is the highest award??? Are there other specific amounts of less money, ex: next highest amount $20,000 or $15,000?</p>
