<p>I got a 197 on the PSAT. 
I feel like this will not help me at all. </p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your suggestions. You’re giving me hope (but not so much that I’m being ridiculous).</p>
<p>If you can get your ACT in the 30s, you’d have a good chance at a full ride at Temple. Depending on your other numbers and ECs, you’d probably get $10,000.</p>
<p>“Pitt in the past has given full-tuition (not full ride) scholarships to those with a 34 and above ACT (occasionally a 33) or a 1450 and above SAT (CR/M).”</p>
<p>Only if you also have a really high GPA as well. I know this based upon personal experience. 3.63 uw, 4.5 w GPA=0.</p>
<p>^^^ It is hard to figure out what Pitt will award in money to any particular person because the criteria aren’t spelled out anywhere. It seems to be on a case-by-case basis and is mysterious.</p>
<p>You should be good for RECHC, admissions-wise. I don’t know about a full-ride but you ought to get some merit aid, too.</p>
<p>SUNY- Stony Brook offered me a full ride with the Provost (sp?) scholarship, which is a scholarship for out-of-state residents (I live in California). I was quite surprised that did offer such a thing to non-residents… Good luck with your search to see if UCs offer the same!</p>

<p>I know I can get into RECHC, but a stipend to cut some costs would be nice. Supposedly if you attend SHP this summer, you automatically get a $5000 scholarship over four years to the Honors College, which I really like.</p>
<p>I got a full tuition scholarship at Pitt (state affiliated in PA) with a 2250 (roughly a 34 ACT). Most people on the Pitt board had similar scores to get the full tuition along with ECs and good grades. I got a full ride to Stony Brook (IS) for National Merit it seems.</p>
