Thanks satacer. I appreciate the info. Where did you get it by the way? The info that is. Do you think it possible, given your stats that they steer away from offering to FL residents because of the Bright Futures etc? They figure if they are trying to get the best of the best they need to give it to people who wouldnt have any other way to afford it? I asked a similar question on another board. If the college offering the scholarship is ranked similarly to the local state school would they be more or less likely to offer the big merit$ scholarships. The consensus was that the admission people would be too bogged down with those kind of details and that kind of info wouldnt be taken into consideration. But…my daughter and I were at an Ivy League school this past weekend and the admissions person was talking about how complicated the selection process was. She basicly said that if you come from Michigan(she was using that as an example) you would be less likely to be accepted because Michigan State is ranked so high people would choose Michigan. Now, I want to stress that I didnt ask the question. It just mentioned. Of course I ran back to the hotel and looked up Michigan State! Higher than UF. Just saying.
