Chances For A White Male From Connecticut

My GPA is 3.2 unweighted and 3.3 weighted. I've taken one honors class and one AP class, and I am taking two AP classes next year. Superscored (two tests), my SAT is 1370/2030. My best SAT in one sitting was 1330/1990. My class rank is going to be somewhere from 25%-35% when I graduate. I play drums in a band that plays at places in my town (we recently played at our town's fireworks), I started the political science club at my school, and I volunteered to help coach my sister's softball team and logged 24 hours. I've played intramural basketball all three years and intramural volleyball my junior year. I've also done a few other things (playing with my band at Relay for Life, etc.). My family's estimated EFC is 37,000. Please help me out.

Also, would I receive any financial aid?

Thanks very much in advance.

ECU has cut back on the number of freshman they are taking each year (by 400 this year I think), but it still sounds like you would have a good chance.
Total out of state yearly for everything is less than $30,000, so I wouldn't count on getting any financial aid though.
ECU does have a nice mix of in and out of state students.
Good luck!

I think you would have a great chance of being accepted.

You stand a great chance at getting admitted. Apply early and send in a resume and recommendations and outline your ECs.

As far as financial aid, with an EFC of 37,000 the only "aid" you will receive is $5500 in subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Fill out the FAFSA.

You could look into scholarships that the college is offering, that's another way to get money to help pay.
