<p>You really should look at your other records (sports, music, speaking etc.) Also remember that the aid is need-based, not merit-based, so don’t let a slightly bad score or record phase you. (Conversely don’t expect full aid just because you have a great score)
I had 2270 in SAT 1 and my tuition is entirely waived and I get a loan to pay for about half the rest.</p>
