<p>Hi mallen5938. My D will be a Freshman this fall at LUC. She too is from California and has very similar statistics as yours. Unweighted GPA 3.96 Weighted 4.5. SAT score 2150, 10 AP exams scoring 4&5’s on all of them, very involved in her JESUIT high school in all sorts of leadership, volunteer, and athletic roles. She received the Damen Scholarship ($11,000/yr) and then later a Directors Scholarship ($2,000/yr) was added. I spoke extensively with the Admissions representative (who no longer works at LUC) the summer before my daughters senior yr and he told me that the merits scholarships are based on GPA & SAT scores. I am pretty sure that if my D had gotten a 2200 on her SAT she would have received the next level of scholarship $ ($14,000/yr). I don’t want to discourage you but my feeling is that in order to get the full ride you need really high test scores.</p>
<p>The presidential scholarship requires an ACT of 29 or more I think. The full ride is not automatic. There are three different sets of full tuition scholarships: National Merit Finalist, Preaidential Achievement and Ignatian (Honors Program). The last 2 require application with essay (after being admitted) and interview on campus late march.
If you follow the link for financial aid at luc.edu there is a page for all scholarships (or just do a search inbtheir web site)</p>
<p>Flash00back: it would depend on your other stats. With a high GPA and activism in the community, then you have a good chance. My ACT was a 30 and I got the Loyola University scholarship for $13,000/year.</p>
<p>I did get the Presidential Merit on admission ($17,000/year).
I have a GPA of 4.0 un-weighted and 4.2 weighted. All my grades are A+.
ACT: 34
EC’s:
Peer Mentor/ Voluntary Teacher’s Assistant.
Student Union Committee member.
Would I stand a decent chance at getting the Presidential Achievement or the Ignatian Full tution ?</p>
<p>Flash00back: Congratulations! That’s awesome! I mean, your stats are way higher than the average Loyola student’s stats, so I think you have a really good chance at the Presidential Achievement, especially if you’re a strong writer. I think the people chosen to interview for the Ignatian scholarship have already been chosen. The website says they were notified on February 10th. If you were chosen, I expect you would do well.</p>
<p>Seattle1234 , I don’t think that they’ve notified people yet about the Ignatian. It says their application has to be submit by February 10th. ( I hope so.)</p>
<p>I have just received my Honors Program Acceptance 3 days ago and they said they will start contacting finalists after March 1st so that they could come in for interviews. </p>
<p>By the way, Have you applied to the Honors Program ?</p>
