<p>My guess is you will get one of the Presidential scholarships. these are either for 1/3rd or 1/2 of tuition. Keep in mind though, its 1/3 or 1/2 of the 34k, not the 47k that includes room board and other expenses. </p>
<p>so basically, most likely between 11k and 17k, but it all depends on who applies, and of course this is just based off of merit.</p>
<p>I'd say it'll probably be 1/2 tuition scholarship with an honors program invitation. That's what I got and I had lower SATs than you, but a higher GPA.</p>
<p>Take note of what the above poster said.</p>
<p>This is my situation: I am from South America, but I have been living in NJ for the last 4 years, I have not family in the U.S, so I have not problem with moving out of NJ or staying. I am transfering from a CC to a 4 year school. I have not money for college, and my family is not able to help me on that, and this is what Rutgers and BEntley offer me.</p>
