Link please?

South Dakota State is cheap ($25,000 all-in, including dorms) for all students without merit.

For Alabama it's weighted GPA.

Hearing this for the first time. I have only heard of their National Buckeye scholarship so far for OOS.

Apply widely and see what financial offers you receive. Some of these schools have become very popular so the key is finding the next school before everyone else does. Ex: University of Kentucky.

This admissions cycle, DS was offered $25k merit from UMN which puts the cost right in line with in-state. To a lesser extent, $16.5 from Ohio State.

Check out university of Alabama's out of state scholarships
https://scholarships.ua.edu/freshman/out-of-state/
As mentioned earlier in this thread, for GPA they will consider a weighted GPA. However, for SAT/ACT scores, they do NOT consider "super scores"-the qualifying score must be in one sitting.
Still, out of state tuition is 31,000 so some of these scholarships will result in tuition payments being less than "in state" at VA public schools (I assume other states too.)

My experience is about 5 years old.

My DD was offered in in-state at UGA plus a small additional scholarship.

UGA has a very strong honors program and their accepted honors students have very strong stats.

Michigan State also offers excellent merit to high-stats kids (would have made it less than most in-state for my DC).
