[quote=Anonymous]UNC is not out of the realm of possibility. Our kid was accepted at Chapel Hill (OOS) with a 3.8 weighted GPA, 31 ACT, no hooks, but consistent involvement and leadership position in one extracurricular activity + excellent writing ability. It was a huge reach but it went our way. There is NO merit money, though, unless you are superstar, and then they are very generous. Also accepted at UGA (with merit money) and USC (they notify late about merit awards and the honors program, which is *extremely* competitive). Deferred at our state's flagship school. Look at UGA - great school with lots of academic options, an Oxford program, beautiful campus in one of the best college towns in the country, incredible alumni network, and they just started giving good merit money to OOS applicants. Until recently with the Zell Miller grants, they couldn't afford to woo OOSers with merit money, but we were pleasantly surprised with a generous offer, automatic consideration. There's great merit money at Alabama and Tulane and Auburn as well, to judge from offers received by other kids we know. [/quote]
