To submit or not submit

I applied test optional with around unweighted 3.9 and weighted 4.4 (depending on how each college converts gpas) and have been accepted to and received merit awards to the following:

Florida Institute of Technology- highest merit award of $21,000 This brings the total amount down to around $29,000 per year

Wingate University- $31,500. This brings the total amount due down to around $18,000 per year

Belmont University- highest merit award of $10,000. In my letter it also states that named endowment awards will be released in March. Hopefully there is more coming to me :slight_smile: because the total amount is still in the mid 40s after subtracting the $10,000 award.

Randolph-Macon College- highest merit award of $29,000 and an invite to interview for full tuition

Nova Southeastern University- $20,000 (still awaiting acceptance into a Razors Edge which would bring the amount to $28,000) Total amount is around $29,000 but could go down to $21,000 per year

Baylor University- award hasn’t been issued yet
Stetson University- award hasn’t been issued yet

I’m still waiting to hear back from 9 more schools. I’ve also looked up what the required score for AP exams is for each of the schools I’ve applied to and if they will count towards the general education requirements or just electives. I plan to eventually get either my clinical psychology doctorate degree or an MD in psychiatry so I’m trying to shave off a year of undergrad :smiley:
