<p>I should add to my post #3.</p>
<p>A University of Alabama rep told me yesterday that with a strong test score, UA will consider a GPA that is 3.0 or better for scholarships. So, that’s better news.</p>
<p>Because of strong OOS recruiting, Alabama’s freshmen classes now have about 40% of students coming from OOS.</p>
<p>In The University of Alabama’s Fact Book…I just found this amazing statistic!</p>
