@PurpleTitan -We are looking for best merit and academic opportunities. She wants a school with Greek life and football. But we both like the idea of the smaller class sizes and smaller school feel within a big university. She is an excellent student with an unweighted 3.9 and weighted 4.65. Her Sat just misses full tuition at UA but she will get 2/3 and instate tuition at U of South Carolina. Top option is our state flagship for cost but looking for other places to apply out of state and keep COA in par with instate.
