<p>My S loved American. He will be applying this coming Fall. Do you think he’d have a shot at merit $? His stats are: 3.8 UW, 3.95 W, 1360 (CR + M)/2040 SAT. He has the usual ECs, with heavy emphasis on theater productions, and lots of AP’s. The major that interests him at American is Law and Society. Thanks.</p>
<p>Most definitely.
I had a 3.4 uw and 1990/1390 and they gave me a 6000 scholarship and 15000 in grants. I could see American covering his tuition (not room and board though which is quite pricey) especially if he’s regular decision.</p>
<p>I’m going there next year if you have any other questions.</p>

<p>American didn’t even cover my full tuition, and I was 3.9 UW, way beyond 4.0W, 1560/1600 SAT. I came 5000 short.</p>
<p>What about me? Think I could get some? </p>
<p>3.65 GPA 4.0 + weighted</p>
<p>1470 SAT scores</p>
<p>Deface, $5,000 tuition cost a year is great! Congrats! Did you get a merit scholarship that covered most of the tuition, or is that a combination of merit and financial aid? Does anyone have an opinion as to if merit money is also tied to what you will major in? For example, a less popular major may have more merit $$ available for those who declare that major?</p>
<p>It was solely a merit scholarship, and then I received additional financial aid to help cover that other 5000 (as unsubsidized loans)</p>
