<p>I have a 4.2 GPA, 30 ACT, National Honor Society (Treasurer), Student Council, and other extracurriculars. What are my chances and what scholarships do you think I would be able to get.</p>
<p>DePaul isn’t that good of a school. You’re probably guarenteed admission with that.</p>
<p>You will be admitted if you have visited and showed them you are truly interested in DePaul, which is a great school in a cool location. </p>
<p>You have a reasonable chance at an academic college that will reduce your tuition costs.</p>
<p>D had stats very similar to yours and received $10,000/year (contingent on keeping a 3.0 GPA). I noticed from the DePaul web site that the minimum scholarship amounts have increased since then. At one time the dollar amount of the scholarship was solely based on GPA and test scores (no ECs).</p>
<p>And actually, DePaul has very good programs in business and music.</p>
<p>I have a 4.2 GPA, 30 ACT, National Honor Society (Treasurer), Student Council, and other extracurriculars. What are my chances and what scholarships do you think I would be able to get.</p>
<p>You will certainly get admitted.</p>
<p>A $10k per year scholarship sounds reasonable to expect when looking at their information.</p>
<p>DePaul</p>
<p>tuition and fees: $30,618<br>
Room and board: $11,335 </p>
<h2>Books and supplies: $1,134 </h2>
<p>Basic costs…$43,000</p>
<p>Estimated personal expenses: $1,776 </p>
<h2>Transportation expense: $755 </h2>
<p>Total COA about $46k per year.</p>
<p>Do you know how much merit aid you need? </p>
<p>Do you know how much your parents will pay each year?</p>
<p>With your stats, there are other schools that will give you larger scholarships that would require your family to pay a lot less.</p>
<p>Here’s a link to a thread that has assured scholarships for stats.

<p>*DePaul isn’t that good of a school. *</p>
<p>That is rude and not true.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Nevertheless, the OP’s stats are well above the typical DePaul student’s (middle 50% 22-27 combined ACT, average UW GPA 3.4). The OP can and should aim higher if s/he wants to be challenged.</p>
<p>It’s unfortunate that with all the college options in the Chicago area, there aren’t any for the very good but not great student (i.e., nothing between NW and UofC and the Loyola/DePaul/UIC level).</p>
<p>Not good? DePaul undergraduate business program is ranked #40 in the nation by Business Week. </p>
