<p>uah is a great school known for engineering, and 10K per year for a college education is becoming a “deal”</p>
<p>Yes, if all you’d have to pay is $10k per year that would be a deal…but UAH isn’t offering that.</p>
<p>9250 tuition</p>
<h2>6500 housing</h2>
<p>15,750 total per year</p>
<p>^^Even if you have the 4.0 GPA and you have the 34+ ACT to get the above, the cost for tuition, room board, fees, and books are over $31k…so you’d still have to pay at least $15k per year (plus personal expenses and travel)…And, these scholarships do not increase as all these costs costs increase…which they will each year. </p>
<p>Frankly, with an ACT 34 and a 4.0+ GPA, a better or equal deal could likely be had at a better school. Yes, UAH has a good engineering program, but the College of Engineering isn’t even ranked in the top 100. So, although it’s good, likely a student with such stats could get a better deal elsewhere.</p>
<p>*I didn’t apply to UAH but noticed the website states that the GPA is cumulative, 4.0+, so it’s not clear wether that means 4.0uw or 4.0 weighted GPA.

<p>They may accept either one…whichever one is higher and/or on the transcript. However, some schools don’t weight, and a student from such a school that has a 3.9 GPA shouldn’t miss out if his ACT is a 34+. The test score is far more valuable than that tiny insignificant difference of GPA.</p>
