<p>I’m surprised that an ACT 27 would get a full tuition OOS scholarship to Iowa State? Was this purely an academic scholarship or something else? That just seems unusual. Full tuition OOS scholarships to schools of Iowa St’s level usually require a high ACT.</p>

<p>What is the name of the scholarship that ISU awarded to you?</p>

<p>An ACT 27 will not likely get merit from Purdue or the other schools unless you have some other kind of hook. Even if only Math and English are considered, 31 scores in those sections won’t get merit at those schools.</p>
