<p>You may have trouble getting in because the SAT is the most important factor in admissions at most colleges, and the average SAT score for those that attend SJU is around 1110 (math and reading). Just my honest assessment.</p>

3

<p>... i got in with a scholarship, thank you very much for your input though!</p>

4

<p>Did you get a Legacy scholarship? Just curious. Thought SAT's would need to be higher for a scholarship.</p>

5

<p>i got a 5,000 a year scholarship: i got it for my academic and extracurricluar achievements.. i did have a letter sent in my name though, from a very well known graduate who donates a lot of money to the school annually.. idk if that helped or not though?</p>

6

<p>I got the same scholarship as her with a 1000 SAT and a 3.25 GPA.
I know another who got $9,000 with a 3.5 GPA and 980 SAT.
So no, your SAT do not need to be high to get a 5-9,000 scholarship</p>

<p>Did you guys apply for financial aid or scholarships? Or did you just receive that as a bonus to your acceptance letter?</p>

<p>i just got that as a bonus with my application acceptance letter</p>
