I’m a HS Junior and looking to get merit based aid. I’m interested in Villanova, Colgate, Tulane, W&L, U of R, W&M, and others. I have a 3.7 GPA and a 34 on my ACT. Could i get merit aid at George Washington or Tulane? If not, what small(ish) schools could i get aid at? I’m interested in studying Finance/Econ.
Tulane is a possibility (if your GPA is unweighted); you might look on the Tulane forum here on CC, as there are several threads there about merit scholarships at Tulane.
You might also investigate Furman University, if you haven’t already; it offers majors in both Business Administration and Economics, and it has some good merit scholarship opportunities.
That’s my weighted GPA, but practically half of my family has either attended Tulane or worked at Tulane, so i don’t know if that would potentially help my chances. I checked out Furman, and it looks like a possibility. I have also started and am president of a volunteerism club at my school.
