[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An interesting list. Why is UVA so low? [/quote] Because Virginia’s cutoff for NMF is very high[/quote] But also, UVA is a relatively small school, is one of three public colleges in Virginia are targets for NMF-calibre students, and most importantly, does not automatically convert NMSF=> NMF. Taking Alabama as an example, they will not only turn every NMSF matriculator into an NMF, but will shower money on them -- five years of tuition, $3500/y supplemental for four years, $2,000 for study abroad... It's a terrific deal, and what's more is that matriculants will be grouped with a couple hundred other high-SAT scorers in their freshman class. Success breeds itself.[/quote] Kid made the cut for NMSF and we are strongly considering Alabama because of this amazing package.[/quote] PP back with an update. Kid has started to receive decisions and merit packages: Accepted ASU $12k/year Arizona $17k/year Alabama full ride Oklahoma full tuition + (not quite full ride) UT Dallas full ride U South Florida full ride (incl waiver) U Central Florida full ride (incl waiver) Minnesota - in state tuition waiver + $15k Waiting on decisions from U South Carolina and U Tulsa (both offer full rides) Also waiting for RD decisions (Ivies and T30) [/quote] Thanks all! Feeling very excited for the kid - he’ll have so many great options to consider. Nice. Alabama, UT Dallas, and USF are all a little more than $50,000 a year OOS. So scholarships worth $200,000+. A pretty good return for three hours taking the PSAT. [/quote][/quote]
