<p>Am I likely to be accepted and receive merit aid?</p>

<p>Yeah
you're going to be accepted
and you'd probably receive merit aide too, Case usually meets all of your demonstrated need from the FAFSA form (minus any merit aide they give you) too, so if your EFC is that low, you'd be fine.
just by pure test scores you'd probably get merit aide...there is always that rumor that case bases a lot of scholarships of test scores alone, which I can't really confirm nor deny.
I got the president's scholarship, ~21,000 a year/4 years and I had a 4.1 weighted, and a 34 ACT.</p>

<p>Just echoing that you'd definitely be accepted and you'd definitely receive merit aid. I had a much lower GPA and rank, only 1 AP class (out of 3 offered at my HS), a 31/1450 on standardized tests, and I received $18,500 a year/4 years IIRC (I'm not going to Case so I don't recall the exact amount).</p>

<p>Not only will you receive aid, Case looks like a great school for you b/c you can continue your involvement in music groups if you wish!</p>
