Barely missed the Presidential scholarship (one more try in November) but I see the College of Engineering pays the rest of tuition + $2500. I'm wondering if that's guaranteed, or what it takes to get it.

Where are you seeing that COE "pays the rest of tuition + $2500"?
Which test are you taking next month? The SAT?
Make sure you list the correct major on your apps.
