From everyone reporting, it looks like those who received the top awards of each range had a combo of both the top range Score and top range of UW GPA together.

This is why I intend to call FA and discuss my son’s award with them. He has a 35 ACT and a 4.0 UW GPA (and a most rigorous course designation from our school) and received an award of $24,000. This seems out of sync with what others have been reporting. I know it can depend on other factors, but I can’t understand how a child at the very top of every category that is supposedly considered would not get at least close to full tuition. It’s frustrating, because Miami is his first choice, but he has a full tuition + $2500 offer at one school and a full ride offer at another school, so it might be hard to pass those up. We really expected Miami to be pretty close to par with the other schools and were disappointed that it was not.
