Scholarship Chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Fordham University

I did the NPC for Fordham and it came out to $35k which is a lot for us. Other schools, admitedly more selective with better aid, came out to around $20k. I was hoping to get some merit money at Fordham. Do I have a good shot at a significant merit package? I’m not NMSF so looking for a different scholarship.

Asian male, business major
34 ACT/1510 new SAT superscore(should I send both or just ACT?)
2/100 class rank
7 APs, 9 honors classes
Pretty good ECs with a lot of leadership positions

Are these objective stats on par for those that get good scholarships here? I saw the 75th percentile ACT was a 32 but the SAT 75th percentile converts to a 31 ACT. So my ACT is 2 points above the 75th and my new SAT is 80 points above the 75th. Are these numbers good enough for some money?

You’ll definitely get some merit money, but you really have to wait and see. As a current student, the financial aid office is a mystery to us all.
