So, apparently the final deadline to apply is May 1…but should I even bother?

<p>Ok, I know that the main RD deadline was 2/1 and I missed it. But I found somewhere that ASU still takes apps until 5/1, but nothing is really guaranteed. Is that true?</p>

<p>So, I filled out the application today and all I have to do now is pay. But should I even bother?</p>

<p>I filled out the scholarship calculator on the ASU website and it said I should get the $13,000 Presidential Scholarship, so that would make the Out of State tuition very reasonable. </p>

<p>But would I even get a scholarship, applying mid/late February? Would I be eligible for Barrett?
I think that if I would have applied in the fall, I would have been competitive for Barrett, but probably not now. </p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8ish/4.23W
SAT: 1390/2110
ECs: Eagle Scout, Student Govt, worked 1-2 jobs throughout H.S., a lot of volunteering, grant writing, Eucharistic Minister, NHS, and a few other things. </p>

<p>So, should I drop $65 to apply and another $10 to send the SAT scores? My college choices are looking like it may come down to may safeties, might not be able to realistically afford my reaches/matches (Without graduating in a sea of loans), so I would like a couple more options. I have some good safeties that I really like, but the more options, the better. </p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>The priority deadline for Barrett is March 1st and ASU is pretty slow in handing out decisions so it would be tough to make the March 1st deadline. </p>

<p>The merit scholarship deadline has also already passed.</p>

<p>i don’t know anything about the deadlines, but i’d just like to point out that if your sat scores are on your transcript, then you don’t have send them separately.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks for the heads up. Kind of sucks, but it is my fault, I dropped the ball.</p>

<p>LAXer, I’m pretty sure my H.S. does not put SAT/ACT on transcripts, but thanks for the tip.</p>

<p>Call the financial aid office and see if you can still qualify. Sometimes if yield isn’t high (not enough people accept the offer to attend), they’ll figure out a way to get merit scholarships to competitive students. As for Barrett, you can always apply after your first semester. You have options, just have to seek them out.</p>

<p>I applied last year, I think early march. They ended up changing the scholarship dates, just keep yourself posted and check up. </p>

<p>I’d be careful about that scholarship calculator. Not to deter you, but I had similar stats to yours and I got about $5,000 less than that.</p>
