[quote=Anonymous]My DS didn't have much in activities -- mainly a long running monthly volunteer thing that we do with the whole family + a summer job. He got into all the big state Us he applied for except for UVA. Merit awards at a couple OOS schools brought the cost down to about $40k, so in line with the most expensive VA colleges but still more than VT where he ended up. The standard "automatic" type of merit awards seem to be more based on stats so definitely get the SAT up. But the more competitive scholarships, where the school only gives a few out after additional applications, possibly interviews, etc. are going to be looking for the whole package of stats + extensive resume. For the non-joiner, I'd say a summer job is required.[/quote]
