Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I was just offered a seat at the Posse Foundation partner school DePauw University. This guarantees me a 4 year full tuition scholarship. I have to make my decision if I will accept this seat or not by Monday 11/12. If I accept I will enter into an early decision binding contract and be asked to withdraw all my other applications.
My problem is I don't like DePauw, I feel I am overqualified, and it is very far away from home. I live in NY, DePauw is in Indiana.
My SAT scores are 2110 (DePauw accepts people with SATs ranging 1700-1800)
My GPA is 3.74 (I did badly freshman year due to personal conflicts and explained this to Posse. I plan to explain this to other schools if I choose to apply)
My coursework was especially rigorous junior year when I took 3 AP classes and honors. (scored 4 on 2/3 exams)<br>
I do many extra curriculars including dance, acting& theater, debate team, volunteering, etc. since freshman year. </p>

<p>My question is should I accept the Posse invitation or see if I get into the schools I would rather go to. Could I get into:
Boston College, Boston University, Macauly Honors CUNY, or Brandeis University if I apply regular decision? What are my chances? Is DePauw the best I can do?</p>

<p>It depends on ur parents’ ability or will to pay tuition fee. You will have a fair chances in univs like UCLA, B C, BU and etc, but you shouldn’t expect 4 years full tuition scholarship.
Remember, the reason why you got 4 years full scholarship granted is because Depauw accepts people with SATs ranging 1700-1800. If you want better school quality, you gotta give up scholarship.</p>

<p>My personal suggestion would be, don’t expect scholarship and apply to univs that you desire. You have a good chance for those better univs without financial aid.</p>

<p>Basically what everybody else said. The reason you were offered a full-ride is because you are over-qualified. You have a decent shot at the schools on your list, but you are not over-qualified for them, so don’t count on merit based scholarships.</p>

<p>I also go to Benjamin N. Cardozo high school and 3.74 is my weighted average. Also, my question was if I could get into BC, BU, etc. WITHOUT scholarship. That was my question bc I know im not getting in with a scholarship. Thanks</p>
