My s was also awarded the Chancellor’s schol. two years ago but turned it down because it didn’t pay for room and board. He ended up at KU with enough local, state and KU scholarships to pay for everything all 4 years. He made a 31 on his ACT (don’t remember his SAT score), and had a 4.0. He was a Congressional Page in Washington D.C. his junior year and foreign exchange in Germany his senior year which really were his two big EC’s. Plus he wrote some pretty good essays.

TCU is a fine school–I went there back in the 70’s. I always felt somewhat out of place though because I was not in a sorority. I don’t know if it is still the same, but Greek life was a big part of TCU. It may be something to consider when making a choice of schools.
