Chance/Match Me! Business Major Applicant with 33 ACT (hopeful for scholarships!)

Chance Me / Match Me

I need help finding places that will have some decently strong academics, but could still offer some scholarships
I have 6 AP classes with 4/5s, and another five that I’m taking this year (expecting to pass)
I have many hours in volunteering and I do singing and I’m CAR chapter president. I’m also NEHS president and have a job teaching children and a local arts nonprofit. I’m also in NHS and Rho Kappa.
I’m also applying as a Business administration major.
I’m looking at places like UF and University of Miami. I’d prefer warmer weather if possible, but it isn’t a deal-breaker. I’d like to have some scholarships if possible to make college more affordable. Thanks!

A lot of merit offers are based on gpa (usually unweighted to level the playing field).

University of Arizona Honors College.

ASU Honors College.

If you’re interested in a smaller school, Rollins has a good business program and often has great merit.

Some of these have already been mentioned, but you may want to take a look at:

  • Baylor (TX): About 15k undergrads

  • Florida State: About 33k undergrads

  • Loyola Marymount (CA): About 7300 undergrads

  • San Diego State (CA): About 32k undergrads…not much in the way of scholarships, but the sticker price is much lower than a school like U. of Miami

  • Southern Methodist (TX): About 7100 undergrads

  • Texas Christian: About 11k undergrads

  • U. of Alabama: About 32k undergrads

  • U. of Arkansas: About 26k undergrads

  • U. of South Carolina: About 27k undergrads

  • U. of Tennessee-Knoxville: About About 27k undergrads

Here are some suggestions of schools that offer business majors:
-Chapman University: they give out quite a bit in merit scholarships, the campus is beautiful, and the weather is unbeatable (in SoCal)
-University of Rochester: another school that gives out a lot in scholarships
-Cal Poly SLO: great business program, total out of state tuition plus, room and board, and expenses is $56K

Since you like nice weather, you might look at the UC’s.

@LinleyMacmillan

UC’s run $75K/year for OOS applicants with very little competitive merit scholarships and will not consider the ACT score since they are test blind.

Not good options based on your criteria.
