top 8% in school... assured partial scholarship??

Paying for College
1

<p>Here are my stats:
My GPA is 3.6 unweighted and 4.0+ weighted. SAT scores are 2180. on the SAT II i have a 750 in math 2 and a 710 in physics. </p>

<p>Nothing special when it comes to EC’s. i was in model UN for 3 years and guitar ensemble for 2 years. in guitar ensemble our group scored highest in a multi-state competition at hershey park (we were the only guitar ensemble there, but nevertheless our we scored higher than any other type of group on the same scale). i also taught math for a few months at a hindi school in which my parents were founding members. currently i have about 30 hours of community service from teaching at the hindi school, but will get another 60+ hours this summer.</p>

<p>My question is… what kind of schools should i look at for a partial scholarship? (at least 20% of tuition)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Do you mean 20% of tuition? or 20% of cost of attendance?</p>

<p>If a school’s tuition is $40k and the COA is $55k…then are you asking for scholarships of …</p>

<p>$8k per year ???</p>

<p>$11k per year???</p>

<p>Are you saying that your family is fine with paying the other $44k - 47k per year?</p>
