<p>Welcome: Call Auburn’s scholarship office and make sure your 33 ACT without the writing will qualify you for the Presidential. If not, you still have time to retake the ACT. Better safe than sorry. </p>
<p>In addition, Auburn had an extremely strong recruitment this year and may have to tighten qualifications the next year. I met a mom at CWE whose daughter was a Junior Miss State Finalist. Auburn offers a full tuition scholarship for Junior Miss winners but in January the GPA and SAT/ACT requirements for it were increased and the mom said her daughter received a letter denying her the scholarship (she had never had an official offer) due to her SAT score being a 10 or 20 points below what was needed. She was hoping to settle this problem and see if they would let her daughter re-sit for the SAT. Anyway, because requirements can change from year to year and with the continued weak economy, I would prepare a safety net.</p>
