That’s a great question that I cannot answer. It all depends on the number of kids that commit to the school and the program they/you are looking at. The more that do the less likely you are to be selected off the waitlist.
Son was rejected. 4.1 GPA / 29 ACT / A lot of ECs.
This was one of his top three choices. He got into the other two so not super disappointed.
Best of luck to all of you and/or your children wherever they end up.

To be honest I was surprised I got in because my stats are lower than most who are accepted but I worked hard on my essays and I did lots of volunteer work with migrant children, summer camps, and youth ministry at my church.
where did you find the scholarships/ grants you got?

Not really one of my top choices but good validation though, especially with all the other decisions coming out soon.
@emkpoll @bookworm155 We received another email from Fin Aid regarding the grant awards about a couple of hours after the Admissions email.
I received an email too but I haven’t applied for financial aid. Is this where they realise their merit scholarships too? I signed in but all I can see is a blank page.
@sinvovercosv1482 The Fin Aid email has instructions on how to view your award. Financial aid award includes all merit and need-based aid.
@CollQs Okay, thank you! Will check

Our D was admitted, but no merit money (we won’t qualify for financial aid). Is SCU generous with merit money? Is it worth reaching out to let them know that we’ve received merit aid from LMU and Chapman?
