<p>[College</a> merit aid produces bidding wars - The Washington Post](<a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/college-merit-aid-produces-bidding-wars/2011/05/17/AG7JwzEH_story.html]College”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/college-merit-aid-produces-bidding-wars/2011/05/17/AG7JwzEH_story.html)</p>

<p>The article is about a student who chose CofC over American University due to nice merit aid package and Honors College at CofC vs. no aid at American. It’s really a piece on merit aid - but since CofC is featured prominently in the story - thought it might be of interest.</p>

<p>The 25 ACT is probably fine - another point or two would be even better. GPAs are tough to decipher from one hs to the next - so it is really hard to say. Your own hs naviance is probably a better resource for you than anyone on this forum with experience from another hs.</p>
