<p>I got a 227 on the PSATs, which definitely made the cut off for National Merit semi/finalists. </p>
<p>My parents can pay a little, but the bigger scholarship offer I get, the better. What they can pay is almost negligible (at most $5000 a year). However, my household income is high enough that I probably won’t get financial aid. </p>
<p>I do have a job now (an internship) and I should have $9000 by the time I go to college. But besides that, nothing.</p>
<p>And what do you mean by assured full rides? And competitive full rides? For assured full rides, does it mean you will definitely get a full ride?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know of good schools that don’t have an application fee? For example, I know Tulane doesn’t have an application fee.</p>
