<p>I would appreciate greatly if you gave me some feedback.</p>
<p>Im christian if that helps</p>
<p>I saw this on LMU’s board as well. I think you stand a very good chance. I have higher SATs and a lower GPA and got into the honors program and a full ride to both. I think you stand a good chance (make sure the essays are good!)</p>
<p>In my experience, it depends on when you apply. I had very similar stats (better SAT and slightly more EC’s) this past year and applied early action. I got $14,000 a year. I had a friend with lower stats than I had that applied regular and recieved a half-ride. If you need money more than an early decision or an honors program admission, I would apply regular. They seem to have a better idea then of the extent of the scholarship funds and are therefore, more generous. You will have no problem getting into Santa Clara in either pool, so play it strategically. The full rides I’ve heard of come have other specific hooks, but nobody seems quite sure of the things that SCU looks for beyond academics. You’ll get a scholarship of at least $7,000 or so. It could be as much as full tuition.</p>
<p>I would predict anywhere between 6,000 and 12,000.</p>
