<p>Is it at all possible to get merit based aid with uneven scores?
verbal 700-730 writing: 700-730 math 400-430</p>
<p>Also what about a (home school) student to take a full semester/year at a CC?</p>
<p>thanks for any suggestions?</p>
<p>Wow…that is a huge spread. Your total (using the highest scores posted) is 1160 for your CR and Math combo. I’m still not sure what schools DO with that writing score. </p>
<p>I will punt here…I don’t think that will put you in the running for merit aid at a lot of schools…but my guess is there are some schools where you might receive some aid. Perhaps others can chime in with schools which would provide aid to a student with these SAT scores.</p>
<p>In the meantime…did you work with a math tutor or something to bring up that math score at all? What math courses did you take? Or did you concentrate your studies in the literacy area?</p>
<p>Are you asking if while you’re in high school (home-schooled) is it ok to take CC classes and not have it affect merit? Or, are you asking if you go to a CC for a year after graduating from high school will it affect merit.</p>
<p>Going to any college after high school and then trying to get good merit money is almost impossible. </p>
<p>I don’t think that you’d be penalized if you have “dual enrollment” (home school and cc) during your senior year. I would just make sure that I had some “home school” grades that senior year, too.</p>
<p>BTW…why is your math score so low?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It depends. If you go to a community college with an articulation agreement with four year schools (meaning they will accept you and your CC credits into a four year program), some of those schools DO offer merit aid to these students.</p>
<p>You need to check the policies of the CC with regards to articulation agreements and then the policies of the specific four year schools to see if they would consider you for merit aid as a transfer from a community college with which they have an articulation agreement.</p>
