Since it is an expensive university I would recommend applying for scholarships through the school AND on your own. Apply,apply,apply...there is so much free money out there all you need to do is take the time to look, write the essay (or whatever!) and submit. A little sacrifice now (in time) will be of great benefit later on down the road (in having less loans to pay back!!).
I graduated in the upper 30% of my class. I got a 24 on the ACT. I don't remember my high school GPA. But ORU isn't a hard place to get into. The bar is kind of low for a private school.
