<p>Well, if you don’t find a place with a full ride scholarship, you could go to Minot State. If your 1600 is something like 533, 533, 533, you’d get an automatic $2500/year scholarship. If you can get a 27 on your ACT, you’d get $1000 per year more. Your parent’s $5000/year contribution will cover the annual $5921 OOS tuition plus a part of your room and board. You would likely be able to manage the rest of your room and board between summer jobs, a school year part time job, and a relatively small student loan. They offer French and Arabic majors and a poli sci major with a variety of international programs. It’s a thought, anyway.

<p>If you haven’t tried the ACT, you should. Some people do much better on the ACT. It’s hard to predict - it could go either way - but it’s worth a try. A 3.6 GPA and a high ACT score will make you eligible for more scholarships.</p>
