<p>*DS’s stats have gotten him a scholarship at each school he’s applied to, but the problem is it’s just not enough. Just a couple of examples: Baylor’s scholarship w/ NMF is $134,000+, w/o is $35,000…no way we are paying the remainder of the cost for that. OOS at OU with their “top” academic scholarship would leave almost $90,000 to pay (for 4 years)…which really irks me since when I graduated from OU we were told our children would never have to pay OOS tuition…they lied.</p>
<p>If the appeal is unsucessful, he will likely take the scholarship at one of the in-state schools. Thank goodness for that…*</p>
<p>Ugh…schools should never make promises like that. They can’t know for sure what they’ll be doing even 2 years from now, much less 20 years from now. :(</p>
<p>While it may be too late for your son to apply to schools that might still give him very large merit for his stats, hopefully parents of juniors who are reading this thread will learn from your situation and apply early to some schools that will give huge merit for stats in case their child doesn’t make Finalist. </p>
<p>Does anyone know of some schools that are still awarding huge merit for high stats? I know that many had Dec 1 deadlines, but I know that UAB is still awarding, and so is Miss State.</p>
