<p>“I’d really like to receive a full ride to a good school” - Ditto for most students </p>
<p>Actually high verbal scores can help you get scholarships at many school. (For the tippy top schools, near perfect composite score would increase odds of admittance… but typically they have need-based aid, ie no merit scholarship).</p>
<p>Full rides are quite rare. Full tuition or partial tuition scholarships are more common, but that still leaves room/board and fees (usually totals $10k-$15k per year beyond tuition.)</p>
