<p>Can anyone post which universities offer good merit aid for B plus students and good (not top) test scores</p>
<p>What GPA is a B+? Is it a 3.5? or something else?</p>
<p>Are you asking for assured scholarships (given to all with the req’d stats), or competitive scholarships (awarded to small number from a qualified group)?</p>
<p>What is your budget? That is important because a scholarship of - say $10k per year - won’t help at a $50k per year school if your spending budget is - say $20k per year.</p>
<p>When you get down to the application process, it’s worthwhile to ask directly if they recompute the GPA - take out non-core classes, removing weighting, etc. We found out that Oklahoma City U and Trinity U use unweighted GPA for merit aid computations and Southwestern U uses weighted GPA. I don’t think you’ll find that type of info on anyone’s web site.</p>
