I just got back my ACT which brings my superscore to a 34 (35E, 35M, 31R, 33S).
My regular one is sadly only a 32 (31E, 35M, 30R, 30S).
I feel like a 34 would give me a much better shot at merit aid at superscoring schools. I have applied to Cal Poly and GaTech so far.
Which other ones are there that offer merit aid and superscore at decently ranked Computer Science schools?
RPI superscores and might offer merit at that depending on your other stats.
Actually, most privates superscore. Here’s a list of universities that DON’T superscore, most notably large publics like the UCs, Wisconsin, Ohio State, UT-Austin, etc.

From what I’ve read many schools don’t superscore for merit aid, even if they do for admission.
@“Erin’s Dad” how sure are your about that? That’s pretty depressing
And any other ideas? Are liberal arts schools any good at tech stuff? I guess I stereotyped them as everyone getting an english degree, but I may be wrong.
Do you qualify for financial aid? Net cost is net cost
@ClarinetDad16 EFC 70k+, so no financial aid anywhere
Are you in-state for GT or Cal Poly? You’ll be full pay for at least one of them. Your 32 might get merit aid at Ohio State.
I was hoping for some sort of scholarship from GT. Cal Poly I can afford
@Jpgranier Cal Poly (Slo) superscores the ACT and pretty sure they just consider Math and English - that would give you a 35!
@my2caligirls I know! my 35 English subsection made my day last night.
Many are saying that my GPA of a 3.87 Cal Poly GPA would make it very difficult to get into computer science though:( Very sad.
@Jpgranier that may be true but still worth applying given your 35 ACT. If you hit all the other components that go into your EI you may still be competitive. Good luck.
Who knows anything about Trinity University and CS?
