<p>Hey, futurenostalgia, did you get accepted under regular decision? or are you just now posting an early action acceptance? I ask because I’m surprised that they are already releasing regular decision notices.</p>
<p>It was early action, back in early November. I’m just new to college confidential</p>
<p>any rough stats for what you need to qualify for the 17k scholarship? could someone who received that please post his/her stats? thanks!</p>
<p>@livk128, I’ve been offered 17k. I have a 31 ACT/2090 SAT/3.7 GPA. I don’t have a great deal of EC’s though because my school doesn’t offer much. I know a girl who was also offered 17k. She has a 29 ACT and a 3.8, but she’s participated a lot in varsity sports and other extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>thanks butaneVeins! that’s an interesting observation. ugh, so frustrating though. it seems I’m riding on the line of the possibility of being offered some money but I can’t go if I don’t get it. my worst nightmare is having to take the ACTs again. is the smallest about of merit aid offered 17k? so it’s like 17k+ or nothing?</p>
<p>I believe 17k is their lowest, but there is also a Community Service one (due Jan15th). I had a 30 ACT but a lot of extracurriculars and got the 22k.</p>
<p>There was a $7500 scholarship last year, but I don’t know if they are offering that again. Otherwise it is $17,000; $22,000; $25,000 or $27,000 as far as automatic consideration scholarships are concerned. Then there are ones that require an additional app, such as the CSS just mentioned.</p>

<p>I got accepted to Tulane in November with a Presidential Scholarship and entrance into the honors program. HS GPA: 4.3, Rank: top 10%, SAT: CR:680, M:680, W:780. Attended most rigorous high school in Northern CA. Tons of EC in music and dance, and I did 180 hours of community service at a school for deaf children.
