Also, I have not written my answers to the short answer questions, but I have written my common app essay and I think it very strongly represents who I am and identifies aspects of my personality/interests that are not found elsewhere in my application.
Hello, I just applied to TCU and I can’t exactly say much about their scholarship opportunities because I am unfamiliar with them, but I think it is worth noting that I have similar statistics to you.

I feel that you have a fairly good shot at getting scholarships to Texas Christian. I’m from North Carolina and Furman is one of my top choices, can you provide me any input on their scholarship opportunities?
Furman offers a lot of money. I am also applying there so I will get in state scholarships in addition to scholarships from the school. I would think you are in good standings to get at least 20,000, but don’t quote me on that. Every application pool is different.
@ Wildflower - I would think you would get the Faulty Scholarship. It was 15K a year. T&F is going up for Fall 2017 so this scholarship will follow at the same rate. However, every year T&F goes up but in MOST cases the scholarship does not, so you will be out an additional 2-3K each year.
@Scotty2428 I would think you would get the Dean’s Scholarship but your in between the Dean’s and Faculty Scholarships. It was 20K a year. T&F is going up for Fall 2017 so this scholarship will follow at the same rate. However, every year T&F goes up but in MOST cases the scholarship does not, so you will be out an additional 2-3K each year.
