<p>My GPA is 3.8 (unweighted), and my SAT score is 2000 (1330 V+M). However I'm not certain that I'm in the top 10% in my class of about 400. If I'm not, I'm very near it (like 11-12%) Is it possible to be admitted to CC if not in the top 10%? Are they flexible or is top 10% a requirement? </p>
<p>Also, what sorts of scholarships are available if I get into CC? Thanks a Bunch :)</p>
<p>I'm not sure how flexible they are on that; but I think I remember an admissions officer who came to my high school saying that if you were close they'd set your application aside to be reviewed by a special committee.</p>
<p>Also, the only scholarship I'm aware of that you can get for being in the Comm. College was $1000 max</p>
<p>How did you do on your 10th grade MCAS? If you got the highest score in either English or Math (I think it was Advanced), you qualify for a full tuition scholarship for 4 years to any state school. <a href="http://www.doe.mass.edu/FamComm/Student/122004adams_koplik.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.doe.mass.edu/FamComm/Student/122004adams_koplik.html</a></p>
<p>I haven't gotten my MCAS results back yet. I'm expecting advanced on both sections, but I wont know for another month or so. I dont know why they wait so long to return them. Got to expect the worse though :) </p>
<p>Even if I do get the full tuition waiver, do you think I am still eligible for scholarships towards room and board and such? The low price of UMass is its main draw for me, so if I'm going to go I want it to be as cheap as possible! Thanks</p>
<p>Just remember, tuition at MA state colleges and universities is kept very low--fees are several thousand. That way the pols can say they aren't raising tuition, but keep jacking up the fees.</p>
<p>My D was offered only about $1700 'free tuition' at UMass-Amherst. Fees were in the neighborhood of 5K.</p>
<p>Just be forewarned. If you're going to a state school anyway, the J/A Adams scholarships are worth a little bit of money. But 'free tuition' is is not what you would think.</p>
<p>My godson at UConn received a free ride, which included about 5K in tuition, and a much smaller amount in fees.</p>
