<p>So I really want to go to Quinnipiac. I visited the campus last week and I am in love. I am pretty sure I can get in but I want a few second opinions.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 90 (100 point weighted scale)
Sat: 1150/1600
top 60 % of class (this scares me, my school is EXTREMELY smart)</p>
<p>Im taking an honors accounting 2 course this year though Fairleigh Dickinson University which will give me 3 transferable college credits</p>
<p>Extracurricular:</p>
<p>Instructor at local Junior Police Academy- I volunteer and assist police officers in running the camp for incoming sixth graders in my town. The camp shows the daily lives and whats required of a police officer</p>
<p>-4 year Ice Hockey varsity Letterman
-Captain of Varsity Ice Hockey team senior year</p>
<p>-A few school clubs on and off all 4 years</p>
<p>Job Experience</p>
<ul>
<li>Ice hockey referee for the past 4 years
-Lifeguard for the past 3 summers</li>
</ul>
<p>Letters of Rec.
-Solid English Teacher
-Officer in Charge of the police academy I volunteer for
(Both letters should be pretty good)</p>

<p>Another concern of mine is the money situation. I know Quinnipiac gives out scholarships and merit aid for outstanding students and I would probably need to get some merit aid to be able to go to this school. I looked at the school's criteria for merit aid and scholarships and I meet all of the criteria for them except class rank.
They want students in the top 25% of their class. Will they take into consideration that my school is unbelievably smart and that this is the reason I am ranked so low?</p>
<p>Can you please chance me for admissions and give me some insight to the merit aid and scholarships? Will they be willing to make an exception for my case? I dont need ALOT of money but would probably need around $5,000-$7,000/year.</p>
