@mom2collegekids: Yes I did get the 1400 from one sitting. My major will probably be mathematics. Do EC's that you don't do at school count?


Not sure what you're asking with the last question.

If you apply to Bama with your scores, and apply before Dec 1 and fill out the scholarship app, then you will get the Presidential Full Tuition scholarship.

Sorry that wasn't very clear. Do colleges care about the EC's that you do on your own at home, or do they just want to hear about activities that are school based (like school sports teams/clubs)?

Frankly, many/most publics don't care much about ECs. And assured scholarships don't care about stats. The Bama scholarship doesn't consider ECs at all.

What schools are you wondering about?

I am looking into the following scholarships:
Jefferson Scholarship at U of Virginia
Forty Acres Scholarship at U of Texas- Austin
Eminence Scholarship at Ohio State
Northeastern University Scholars Program
Trustee Scholarship at Boston U

I know these are all really competitive, but I am going to apply to maybe 3 of them. I feel like if I am going to go OOS I should try and go to a highly ranked school that is also ranked highly for mathematics.

Thanks. I see that they have 3 different full-tuition scholarships so I will look into that.

I have really started to look into Ohio State University. What do you guys think my chances are of getting the Morrill Scholarship for diversity. My whole family is Jamaican, and I was also born there.
