<p>You must really like BC since you listed it twice :)</p>

<p>Do you mean “full ride” as in full tuition? None of these will give you a “full ride” which is a scholarship that covers tuition, room, board, books.</p>

<p>I don’t think BC is a great source of scholarship money.</p>

<p>USC - good chance for at least 50% of tuition.</p>

<p>UT - Austin only wants to do “need” aid now</p>

<p>UGeorgia - NO</p>

<p>UMiami - good chance for some tuition dollars.</p>

<p>Vandy - does do merit, but often targets desirable URMs and rare regions.</p>

<p>If you want **assured ** full tuition merit scholarships, then you’ll have to apply to other schools ASAP.</p>

<p>You should get some merit aid at Ohio State. Since you don’t list your home state I don’t know how much.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for the input. </p>

<p>I’m a Tennessee resident, already received full tuition+ from University of Tennessee, but I’d like to go out of state. </p>

<p>To mom2collegekids, I am not looking for assured merit as much as probability of receiving any merit. I know some schools do not reward for merit, and your input helped me greatly. Thanks!</p>

<p>Just wanted to say I agree with your screenname!! :smiley:
Also, Tulane is very generous with $$ and with your stats you are likely to get $$. Howeer, there is no journalism major at Tulane.</p>
