<p>One of my friends with (I’m assuming) similar statistics was also accepted and received the same scholarship, but she was accepted ED1 at Bryn Mawr and is headed there instead. I’m still undecided about attending Loyola, especially when it comes to financial aid. I haven’t visited yet, so I would love to hear about it from current students/visitors!</p>

A little volunteer work here and there, nothing really substantial.
Loyola sent me a free application where I didn’t have to write any essays because I was a “top candidate” or something along those lines. If you show interest and you have good stats they will reach out to you and offer this, so definitely try to aim for that and then you won’t even have to write an essay!
Feel free to contact me if anyone has any questions!
Question, how to they award scholarships? At first, I thought its by ACT/GPA, but the poster above me confused that thought compared to ppl I know (no offense to sjr)
