Regarding merit scholarships at SMU, I would think she’d be extremely competitive for the Presidential Scholarship program. The PS is pretty amazing and includes study abroad and other opportunities. Even if she doesn’t get that, I feel confident she will receive merit (non need-based) scholarships from the university. There might be additional money from Dedman College (where she would be enrolled as a pre-med/bio major). I’m not sure if they have additional scholarship money but I know that Lyle (engineering) and Cox (business) do have some. She should also apply (separate application) for the Hunt Leadership Scholarship. My daughter’s stats were not nearly as strong as yours (3.9UW/32ACT) and she has about 1/2 of tuition/room/board covered by merit scholarships (no need based $) - she is, however, a female engineering student.
