<p>If merit aid is important to you, you may want to give SAT one more try on Oct. </p>
<p>Just a story: One local state colleges that my D was accepted to offer her a great merit scholarship but I think she would have gotten the full tuition merit if her GPA was 0.1 more ( they were still looking at the mid-yr report at the time). So you may want to try to push the GPA & SAT up even more in case some of the schools you will be applying to have a cut off point in merit aid…you’ll never know . </p>
