[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a NMSF with 1580 SAT interested in Univ of Alabama. CS major. Any feedback is appreciated. It will be out of state for us, we are from MD. Her other choice is Pitt. How long do they take to communicate decisions. [/quote]
Your daughter's automatic scholarship at UA is $28k, which makes the direct cost of attendance (tuition, fees, r&b) $22k. If she has a 4.0 and can get her SATs to 1600, she will get a full ride. UMD's direct cost is $28k, plus a $3k premium junior and senior years for CS. DD's stats are very likely to qualify for some level of merit at UMD, bringing the cost in line with UA with her current stats. As someone else mentioned, if she qualifies for the BK scholarship, that will cover half or all of the direct costs. UMD has a much, much stronger CS program than UA. Both have major sports. But of course, the enthusiasm around football at UA is not a fair fight with UMD. [/quote]
Just to reiterate, OP is a NMSF. Her automatic scholarship is more than a full ride.[/quote]
