Financial Aid Offer Predictions

<p>I've heard the Rose-Hulman Institute guy say that the merit scholarship package is purely a formula with 95% academics and 5% EC's. If I were to apply to the school right now, would I still be able to receive a minimum 45K scholarship with these stats? I've also heard about minority scholarships but I'm not sure how to apply for them.</p>

<p>very rigorous school
GPA 3.9
SAT 2300
ACT 35
Physics and Chemistry SAT IIs 800s for both
7 AP tests with 4 & 5
And use a decent EC just for estimate sakes</p>

<p>Best case merit aid is $17K from everything I’ve seen, never heard of anyone getting anything higher. Wish I’d known ahead of time to save the effort of applying.</p>

<p>I know a few who received full scholarships and they had near perfect GPAs and SAT’s.</p>

<p>Just apply and you will find out. The application is really easy and free of charge.</p>

<p>Our son with 36 ACT and 4.06 GPA got the aforementioned $17,000 offer.</p>

<p>@MichMom07,</p>

<p>Is that GPA weighted?</p>

<p>Yes, however, his HS only started weighting AP classes during his junior year, and his school only offers 3 AP classes, one of them which in only 1 semester (AP Gov). So it’s weighted, but not too heavily, if that makes sense.</p>

<p>Makes sense. Thanks!</p>
