<p>My safeties need a lot of merit aid (that i have ability to get a full ride tuition wise). it doesnt have to be full ride but im just sayin that i cant pay 30,000 for school…</p>

<p>For a full ride at your listed schools, you'll need higher than a 31 ACT.</p>

<p>What state are you in, and any other ECs/awards?</p>
