<p>Take a look at the US News list and look where OU and KU are ranked. Then take a look at where your other schools are ranked. See that big list of schools in between the two? That’s where you need to be looking for your alternatives. Or possibly over at that other list, the LACs. There’s a whole lot of territory you haven’t covered yet, and some really great schools, some with merit offers for a student with your caliber stats. If you want to make sure you have a choice, and the full ride to OU is not a bad deal, take a look in the 20 to 50 range of the Nationals.</p>
