Finding some last minute safeties for CS major, deferred by Ivy

College Search & Selection

<p>Yes to NMSF.</p>

22

<p>Look into some of the other [url=“&lt;a href=“http://theaitu.org%22%5DAITU%5B/url”&gt;http://theaitu.org”]AITU[/url</a>] schools (besides, Cal Tech, MIT, Harvey Mudd, and CMU). The less well known ones give reasonable merit aid and they all have strong programs and meet your size requirement. For my school, Illinois Tech, the deadline for the full ride scholarships has passed but merit aid is considered for all applicants and we have rolling admissions. Others may be the same.</p>

<p>The AZ flagships, OU, UNL, UT-Dallas, and 'Bama offer full-tuition scholarships to NMSF.</p>

<p>Don’t know if you have to apply by a certain deadline to get them, however.</p>

<p>UT-Dallas is respected for STEM in TX.</p>

<p>UNL has the honors Raikes school: <a href=“http://raikes.unl.edu/”>http://raikes.unl.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Again, I don’t know what deadlines are.</p>

<p>Alabama’s deadline for likely-NMF’s has not passed.</p>

<p>He’d get:</p>

<p>5 years of tuition (can use a semester’s money ($12,500) towards a summer abroad program)
1 year of housing, including honors housing
$3500 per year
iPad
2000 towards a summer abroad</p>

<p>AND…he’d also get an add’l $2500 per year from the CS dept. So, 6000 per year on top of free tuition.</p>

25

<p>Also look in to Case Western and Rochester. Both are respected in STEM fields and both may give some merit money.</p>

<p>Rochester’s deadline is 1/1 but CWRU’s is 1/15.</p>
