<p>What colleges offer full ride for a 29 ACT... I know its grouped in with the 29-32 range? Let me know which ones and how to apply. Thanks.</p>
<p>Full ride? I don't know. But you can get a decent amount of scholarship money, like I have (also got a 29 and am going to an average university).</p>
<p>Most instate schools usually offer a full ride with those scores </p>
<p>Try looking for those</p>

I don't know of any instate schools that offer a full ride with a 29.</p>
<p>^^^ seriously.</p>
<p>There is no way to guarantee a full ride scholarship even with perfect test scores. A 29 is good enough to get you into some great schools, but colleges won't be knocking down your door to give you money. Apply to a lot of schools and hope for the best.</p>
<p>While a 29 is good and can get you into good schools, it is by no means uncommonly good. In other words, people are not going to throw money at you, especially a full ride. </p>
<p>I got a 29 the first time I took the ACT. It's a good score, but I thought I could do better. I got a review book and dedicated some time to going through it and taking practice tests. I ended up with a 33. I still think I could have done better, but there was really no reason to take it again.</p>
<p>I ended up with scholarship offers maxing out on there allowable merit aid. That combined with another decent corporate scholarship and one from my high school covered full tuition.</p>
<p>Honestly, test scores won't lead to a full ride, unless at:
1) a not so good school
- or -
2) a good private school that basically gives all accepted student a huge amount of money. I think Swarthmore subsidizes all students tuition cost or something. I know some are out there, but I'm not positive about that example.</p>
<p>My advice is to study to get your score up, because 31-32+ is where significant $ start to be given out. Also, apply to places you want to attend, not only to places where you think you can get a full ride. They are difficult to come by and usually come from places you don;t exactly have at the top of your choice list.</p>
<p>Just an FYI, I got 8k/year to go to UArizona with an ACT score of only 30. I'm an in-state student, so this money covered tuition and some part of books.</p>
