<p>You’re have a great chance! Just apply early so spots don’t fill up. Good luck!</p>

<p>In my original post it says I did an essay, but I didn’t. Turns out they had my older ACT score (27), but they accepted me! Took about a week to hear an acceptance. Woo!</p>

5

<p>Congrats! Might want to call them and let them know about the new score though, might lead to $$$$$! :D</p>

<p>Thank you!
Oh that’s true! Do they give any merit aid? When do you know if you have received any scholarships?</p>

7

<p>Yeah, they give merit but their total aid amount is probably minimal. On US News and on collegeboard they said less than 1% got full need met. I got accepted with a 1780, top rank like you, but less ec’s - got $8000 (2000 yearly) so expect more than that :smiley: Last, you should get the notice when you get your big envelope of acceptance.</p>

<p>Ohhhh thanks, again! I haven’t received the envelope, yet. Now I wait…again!</p>
