Paying for College

<p>We won’t qualify for any need-based aid so looking for some good merit aid wants to study engineering, hoping to go to a smaller school here are the stats: </p>

<p>ACT 34 english, 32 math, 23 reading (yikes), 32 science, 30 composite
3.92 GPA, goes to small H.S. they do not rank or have A.P. classes
lots of misc. ecs</p>

<p>Any ideas???</p>

<p>Also, look at your in-state publics. Most large universities have an engineering curriculum and are usually willing to offer merit $ to students with great scores and grades.</p>

<p>RIT in Rochester NY is a good engineering school and they’re co-op. I’ve heard they give decent merit money. They’re not a small school though.</p>

<p>Check out Kettering University in MI. If you are interested in knowing more about it, pm me. I am a grad.</p>

<p>Also look at the University of Rochester. Strong engineering program. Small school (about 4700 undergrads) and a variety of merit aid available.</p>

<p>I know at least one of their big merit winners this year came from a tiny rural high school that offered no APs at all. (Hardest class offered was Pre-calc.) Not sure what his ACT score looked like though.</p>
