I don’t think those numbers will lead to any scholarships from the SOICS for a few reasons. First, SOICS is one of the fastest growing schools on campus. I don’t recall the specific numbers, but there are more and more students every year. Both of my kids are SOICS grads. In just the three years since the older one graduated, the grad recognition ceremony went from a dinner for grads and families to typical lecture type seating and an overflow room. More students means fewer resources and tougher standards. In 2011, DS was a direct admit to SOICS with a GPA well above 4.0 and higher test scores (around 1400 SAT–about the same as 32 ACT) than you have indicated. He received a $500/year scholarship. A few of his high school classmates received similar amounts with similar and higher stats. Again, this was a few years ago when there were far fewer students interested in SOICS
