My Texas daughter just finished her first year as EE major. We were chasing merit, needing HUGE merit. Her stats were 1590 SAT, 36 ACT, 15 APs, rank #1. She was not NMF, she was commended.
She ended up at Texas Tech University, which gives instate tuition for anyone that get 1K merit. She got the top auto merit of 9k but then got 18.5K from engineering dept. so total 27. 500 a year, that is covering full cost of attendance. Tech is generous with merit money! She in in the honors college so classes are capped at 25, her engineering classes are capped at 49. Tons of school spirit.
