Wondering how generous LUM was with FA? I have a student I am trying to help with her applications. She’s hispanic, catholic, low income and first generation to go to college. She has a 3.3 GPA and will have some AP’s by graduation, but not much. She has some good EC’s (choir, church related, two sports, job). She will be focusing on VA state schools, but we are also looking at some religious based privates. Loyola U. seems a great fit for her, and they say that they cover 100% demonstated need. Has anyone had a personal experience with their FA? If you did get great FA, what were your stats? I am not expecting her SAT’s to be very high, but we are prepping her and hoping for mid 500’s in ea. section. Is there hope for good FA with a B avg? (no C’s on transcript by the way).
