<p>Retrenchment has hit us and we need to look for a college that will give us a good aid package. Our daughter got 2000 in her Sat 1 and will sit for her IB next year predicted score could be 35 - 37. We are really worried.</p>
<p>Three great threads for you:</p>

<p>There probably is money out there for your kid. Good luck!</p>
<p>Not familiar as familiar with the IB program, but your daughter’s SAT will garner some merit money at many schools. Do look at the listings that HappyMom offered. That will be a big help. Does your daughter have any idea where she might want to attend college? Narrowing the choices would assist you in your search for a good aid package. Good luck!</p>
<p>thank you. will go through the threads</p>
<p>suggest she take the ACT plus (w/writing)</p>
