We live in Alabama. My daughter is looking OOS because good schools here don’t offer a major in statistics. She’s applied to UGA, University of South Carolina, Purdue and University of Florida. UGA offered her $10,000/year plus honors college. USC offered at least in state tuition plus something else guaranteed due to getting into honors, but we won’t know how much until next month. Purdue only offered $5000/year and we haven’t heard anything from Florida yet, but not expecting anything as they hardly give any merit aid to OOS students. She most likely will end up at USC. University of Alabama and Ole Miss are VERY generous to OOS students. If you can get your test scores into the 30s range or above a 1400 SAT you should be good to go. My daughter’s stats are SAT 1560 and GPA UW 4.00, weighted 4.85. She did MUCH better on the SAT! Hope this helps.
