<p>If you really need aids in top school, 2100 isn’t enough.
2200+ will make you competitive enough. </p>

<p>Not sure if you will like the schools in the list, but U of Alabama is very generous with scholarships. I’ts a pretty good school. Also Engineering students get 2500$ more per year.
3.5GPA+(unweighted or weighted) and 1400+ Math+CR SAT 1/32 ACT+ will give you full tuition for 8 semesters.</p>
