<p>cptofthehouse, do you think the merit money is for the very high end of the SAT/ACT scores with Catholic colleges? I remember using the old SAT numbers when my son went to college most of the very high merit money was for over 1400, full tuition at times for 1500-up. I remember a student asking someone with very high stats “Why Fordham” when he could go anywhere, and he said “the cost”.
It varies but I also remember some pretty high GPA’s for the scholarships to stay. That is something else to look into…I’ve seen 2.8-3.4.</p>
