<p>Hey guys, I have almost finished my list of schools to which I will be applying in the fall/winter, and I wanted to see if there were any other schools which may be willing to give me merit aid.
I have a few restrictions:
-Must be on the East coast
-Must be in or near a large town/city
-Size: 5,000-15,000 total students</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
-3.9/4.2 UW/W GPA (tank: top 7%)
-9 AP courses throughout high school
-34 ACT/2260 SAT
-730 USH SAT II (will take Math II and Physics in October)
-Home state: PA
-Good ECs (or at least I like to think so) with various leadership positions
-Hispanic/National Hispanic Scholar
-National Merit Semifinalist
-Assume good essays but nothing standout</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>You will get more help on this topic in the Financial Aid forum. You can also start with the scholarship sticky threads at the top of that forum. There is also a sub-forum for National Merit scholarships with more information on that area.</p>

<p>I’ll repost this there and check out that thread, thank you!</p>

<p>Look into Fordham - you should qualify for merit aid and might be a candidate for their honors program.</p>
