Yes, absolutely! I plan on studying neuroscience/psychology 
I just did another tour last week when I was in SC visiting my sister. The campus and whole area is just amazing with a lot to do outdoors. Where else is your son considering? Iām between Baylor, Furman, and Florida Tech. Florida Tech has a Forensic Psychology major which many schools donāt have and my career goal is to be a clinical forensic psychologist/psychiatrist. Baylor has an amazing neuroscience and psychology department with high placement rates into doctoral or med schoolsā¦but so does Furman! Itās going to be a tough choice!

Hi all, can anyone help someone applying this year.
I didnāt realize NPC could show merit aid (donāt qualify for need), did you find this to be accurate when decisions came out? It seems like a generous amount, are these the bell tower scholarships or is that different from general merit aid? Iāve read website but unclear if all merit is a named scholarship? Wanting to learn more if it is all 4 years, any other perks, gpa requirements etc.
My D23 didnāt wind up attending but her merit was 4k higher than the calculator. I kept a spreadsheet of expected vs actual.
She received a Bell Tower scholarship
Do you mind sharing your stats?

I also did a campus visit the summer before I applied, attended different zooms and webinars throughout the fall and winter, and showed a high level of interest.
Furman was one of my top choices!
