r/TCU

im a rising high school junior with 1500 sat, 95/100 unweighted gpa and very low income ($17k AGI), im also instate

i just filled it out and it estimated i only had to pay $4.4k a year? i didn't expect the price to be so low for a private like this, that's like ivy league level of financial aid

(to be more descriptive, the total estimated aid was TCU Scholarships & Grants: $74,122; Federal Pell Grant: $7,395; TX TEG Grant $3,873. and the $4.4k would be in federal direct student loans)

(also ik the net price calculator isn't an official statement or declaration of any financial aid or anything like that)

I was looking forward to the BLUU coming back because you didn't have to wait for someone else to plate your food there. Why would they ruin it?? Why did they have to take away the best part of it?? Now I have to actually ask someone to plate the exact stuff I want, which is gonna waste everyone's time. WHY

I was rejected after being deferred of EA. It was a surprice because I was expecting atleast a waitlist after being waitlisted from Santa Clara University, Case Western, and University of Florida. My HS stats at the moment of applying were 3.1 gpa ( now 3.3) and 1340 sat. Also I didn’t submit a loci after being deferred and didn’t send my css. Maybe they rejected me due to a lack of interest.

I am applying as a transfer for spring 2027 and wanted to know if they give good aid. I can only afford 15k per year + the max pell grant and federal loans. My father income is around 150k before taxes. Considering my father income I am scared of how much is gonna cost me. Someone know if it can become affordable?

Edit: I just did the npc and will get 50k aid. I still can’t afford it but I will if I get the transfer tcu scholarship of 25k. What are the requirements for that scholarship?
