<p>My son is in a similar boat… being actively recruited for football, is a hard worker with solid GPA from rigorous/respected high school, but doesn’t test well. We are not counting on merit aid or needs-based aid …but a recent spin with the EFC calculator indicates there is a gap.</p>
<p>I haven’t considered that his GPA/SAT disparity might garner some merit funds…even if nominal. Hmmmmm.</p>
<p>Have you considered any D-II schools…where your son may be eligible for either athletic and/or merit scholarship?</p>
