<p>OP, my D. had similar stats. She is college senior and we did not have to pay her tuition and good portions of R & B were also covered by Merit Scholarships. She got various Merits at every place that she applied to, including one very expensive private school, where we would pay only $5,000 in tuition out of $33,000 if she decided to attend there. Advice - research, ask around, some schools are known for good Merit packages.</p>
