<p>Hey so I am a white male for northern VA looking for merit aid. I want to go here for engineering but would need in state tuition. I applied early. Chance me for instate tuition (trustee) </p>

<p>Cold hard stats:</p>

<p>Gpa weighted 4.32 all As except one B in calculus AB . </p>

<p>To make up for this, I took BC calc at nova community college over the summer (Top cc in us) and got an A.</p>

<p>As a result, my nova gpa is 4.0.</p>

<p>10/271 for top 5 percent of class</p>

<p>9 APs total including senior year (*<em>not counting Multivariable calculus first semester senior year and linear algebra second semester *</em>) </p>

<p>ACT: 33 with a 35 in math 35 in English and 31 in science and 29 in reading (I got a 32 in reading on a different date) in one date. Also a 9 in the essay for a 32 combined English writing score. </p>

<p>SAT math 2: 770</p>

<p>SAT us history:690 (won't send unless required) </p>

<p>SAT chemistry:650 (won't send unless required) </p>

<p>Taking lit (hopefully 710ish)</p>

<p>Extra circulars: </p>

<p>This is the best part of my app:</p>

<p>Nobody has an opinion</p>

<p>You absolutely will not receive in-state tuition…because you (actually, your parents) do not reside in the state of Indiana and have not been contributing tax payers.</p>

<p>That being said, I would think you’re almost a 100% guaranteed recipient of the Presidential Scholarship and that you have a 1 in 4 chance of receiving a Trustees Scholarship (based on your ECs, not your grades).</p>

<p>Thanks! That’s a realistic response and I appreciate it.</p>

5

<p>They don’t require SAT2. They even suppressed self report. Since you get 35 in Math subscore, I don’t think sending in your Math2 score is necessary.</p>

<p>Hopefully the 35 helps</p>

7

<p>You have a wonderful chance!</p>

<p>Really? I would love the trustee scholarship</p>
