From the comments on this board over the years, yes, applying EA would be of benefit to you. It is a timing issue; the school has more to “spend” on scholarships earlier then later.

You didn’t detail your EC component, so a rough guess would be at least the Dickinson or University Scholarship with possibly an invite to the Singer weekend. Some really great contributors here on the board, such as SVM Mom, rankinr and others, might be able to give you some perspective also. I have noticed is that every year the competition for the top awards just gets a bit more difficult, with the requirements being much tougher for 2012 then they were for 2007.

As far as Floridadad 55’s comments (which came in while typing my post), two of the scholarships are above the 50% tuition/fee threshold (University and Singer) with Dickinson just a few dollars higher then 50%.

Then again, UCF, USF, FAU and FIU are usually cheaper then UF and FSU. Not a ratings parrot by no means, but UM is the highest ranked university in the state.

Good Luck!
