<p>So, what do all you guys think? My parents can pay full tuition and won't receive any money from FAFSA.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting accepted, but I don’t know about financial aid. You could easily find that on their website though.</p>

<p>I’d say you’d be accepted, mostly based on your ACT score and your GPA. Having a [relatively] low rank in class and only 4 AP’s over four years will probably keep you from being awarded any merit based scholarships.</p>

<p>Just an update, I got ACT scores back and my composite went up to a 32!!</p>

<p>Excellent! Maybe there’s some merit money coming your way after all!</p>
