I haven't taken the time to look through this entire forum, but in case it hasn't been mentioned:
I am a National Merit Finalist. Fordham University gives full scholarships to anyone who is at least a semi-finalist. I'll be starting there in the fall, even though I had plans on attending a prestigious, Ivy League school . (I wouldn't be going if it wasn't for the money.) I think it's a much better school than most of the schools that offer full merit aid for NM.
Even if you're not NM, they give out a lot of scholarships. I think most people in the top 8-10% of the applicant pool get money.
I'm also in the Honors Program there, which basically gives me the type of intellectual education I was looking for. If you're an Ivy-level student, look into this. It's a great deal. Now I won't have to worry about grad school because my parents will take up the bill. Study abroad is free. I'm in NYC, so internship and career options are excellent. I couldn't be happier.
