<p>Chances are great. Take a look at Lewis and Clark, too. Interview at both if you can.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response :)</p>

<p>But, I'm not considering L & C, we can't afford it. </p>

<p><em>Hopefully</em> I'll be able to visit Willamette in October. :)</p>

<p>Question - your test scores are too low for any of the merit scholarships. The lowest offered is Elmer and Grace Goudy Scholarship -$12,000 Freshmen only; minimum 3.7 G.P.A.; minimum 1300 SAT or 29 ACT. Am assuming you will be looking at need based? If so you might want to take a look at L&C as well, since you will be in the area. Also through WUE Portland State and U of O might be options.
Also you might want to look at the 2006 freshman profile from the schools common dataset: <a href="http://www.willamette.edu/dept/ir/ir_web/dreamtables/commondataset2006/cds2006fresh.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.willamette.edu/dept/ir/ir_web/dreamtables/commondataset2006/cds2006fresh.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>yes, need based aid.</p>

<p>but willamette uses the federal method, and L & C uses institutional, and I'd receive no aid if the college uses institutional.</p>

6

<p>Not so. This is from L&C' financial aid website (the pdf ):</p>

<p>Lewis & Clark’s primary funding commitment is to a need-based financial
aid program. Eligibility for need-based funds is based primarily on an analysis
of the income and asset information submitted on the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).</p>

<p>Hmm.. yea, your right</p>

<p>I glanced at L & C awhile ago, and I thought it was FAFSA, but then looked on college board, and it says CSS too. I should have gone and looked at the L & C website. </p>

<p>thanks for the info :)</p>

<p>To cleslie: Does that mean you can't get any merit scholarships with a GPA below 3.7? I have a 3.65 GPA, 34 ACT, 1440 SAT.</p>

<p>With those test scores I would call the school and talk to them.</p>
