[quote=Anonymous]My DD had a similar profile, also ADHD and poor test taker but 3.8 W GPA. WVU and I think Tennessee and some others do offer merit aid for test optional applicants but be aware many of them calculate GPA themselves based on core subjects only so in our case once they took out some of the electives her GPA wasn’t high enough for the merit aid. She did get significant money from Ohio University but decided to stay in-state (Virginia). Depending on major your kid may be stronger than you think. Mine was interested in a less popular major and was accepted at JMU and Va Tech. Also consider giving ACT a shot - it might be a better fit. Best of luck to your student. [/quote]
