[quote=Anonymous]My rising senior son will be taking the SAT one final time in August. He’s white but we live in a “rural town” per CollegeBoard and he will get award. Are chances of substantial merit Scholarship at those two schools a pipe dream?

We live in MD. So far SAT is 710 math 670 verbal so 1380. Will graduate with 14 APs; 9 through junior year. He’s taken 8 AP tests for his 9 AP classes, one sophomore year he didn’t feel prepared for. Almost all AP scores are 3s (nothing lower).

4s in: AB Subscore of AP BC Cal (overall 3), AP Lang and one other easier social science AP.

Senior year schedule includes AP Physics C and MV.

UWGPA 3.98 and WGPA 4.9. No amazing activities just one long term volunteering commitment where he’s been promoted from assistant to leader in an activity where safety is super important.

If my son is able to increase SAT by X will he have a shot of any substantial OOS scholarship as UMD Pitt and VT are three top choices? Assuming acceptance to all three, UMD would be half the cost without scholarship.
