Edit. This popped up but just saw u wrote in January. Oops

Congrats on your accomplishments. I can’t comment on the specific scholarship but you will certainly get into SMU 90% certainty).

If cost is an issue, with your gpa alone you could look at Public Honors Colleges from U of SC to Bama to Miami Ohio to Arizona and Arizona State amongst many many more. You could even go to a school like Troy for free. Free including room and board.

As for other home run scholarships you might look at W&L, American, Seattle U and more.

Don’t know if you’ll get it at SMU. You might contact admissions and see if there’s a current recipient to to talk to. But it’s typically the things outside the norm that determine these. It could be ethnicity, essays, life outside of school, where you’re from as they look for geographic diversity.

So apply. And see. But have financial targets and safeties too because while SMU is highly likely for you, the scholarship is a reach.

Also you’d likely qualify at all the Tx schools too so you’ll find one right for you if you went that route. Tulsa (nearby) and Trinity are other aggressive privates to look at although I don’t think they have the home run scholarships.

Good luck
