<p>Aren’t these your stats (posted on page 1 of this thread)? </p>
<h1>SAT I (breakdown): 2160 (M 740, CR 740, W 680)</h1>
<h1>ACT: 34 (M 36, E 34, R 30, S 36)</h1>
<h1>SAT II: 800 Chemistry, 790 Math II</h1>
<h1>Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.8</h1>
<h1>Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): Top 5%, at least</h1>
<p>I also want you to realize that there is no guarantee schools will meet either the EFC or IM family contribution number. In other words, it may not be a matter of $45K now and $25 later. It may be a matter of $45K for 4 years and you taking the rest in loans. That’s why I’m suggesting you lock in the RPI money. It is the only assured money you have. Unless you have an in-state option you love, it could end up being your best deal. Of course, maybe it won’t be-- but a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.</p>
