Good but not tippy-top student looking for CS matches/reasonable reaches

Hopefully your 3.74 GPA will become a 3.75 when recomputed by Arizona, but don’t count on it, so 12.5K/year merit should be your baseline.

That 3.74 doesn’t include my three As in concurrent enrollment college classes, so it might? I don’t know how that works.

@NJEngineerDad

I dont think that you can get cheaper than Alabama. 35 ACT gives you Presidential (28K/year merit) Do you expect more than 11K/year at Iowa State?

$14.5k ($2k expedition plus $1.5k for having an ISU grandparent), which makes the net cost $23k or so, same as Alabama with $28k scholarship (unless my math is wrong).

@NJEngineerDad

What is the plan for UMass, RPI and Maryland money-wise?

UMass rep that came to my school said they offer $10k-$16k scholarships to a lot of students, and I have well above the weighted GPA average there (even in CS). UMD and RPI, I’ve seen some scholarships here/Reddit that would get it down to $45k, but I don’t know how common those are.
