My sentence was in response to the OP’s statement that he’s applying for (presumably) outside scholarships to pay for college. Those won’t likely pay for 4 years of college.</p>
<p>Yes, there are some schools that will give large merit for an ACT 28, but his GPA may be an issue. </p>
<p>I don’t know how the OP would pay a “residual” cost of $10k-15k if his parents aren’t paying anything. </p>
<p>The student should also look at the New Mexico public univs…UNM, NM Tech and any others. And maybe USouth Dakota.</p>
<p>I don’t think the student understands that as an incoming frosh, he’s not going to have internship or research money in hand to pay for his college costs. Yes, sometimes juniors and seniors are doing co-ops that can help pay for college, but those co-ops aren’t helping fund incoming frosh. </p>
