<p>I recently was mailed scholarship info from UPittsburgh, about their full tuition scholarship. My scores and stats supposedly make me competitive for this scholarship. Based on my stats are there any other merit-based scholarships at good schools (top 50) that you have heard of, that I would be competitive for? Have you, or anyone you know of gotten scholarships with similar stats to mine?
stats-
GPA: 94.4
SAT I: cr/m/w: 710/770/800
SAT II: Math ii/US/Bio: 760/730/730
APs: Bio-5, Lang-5, US-5, Euro-5, Macroeconomics-5, Microeconomics-5
-I'm taking ACT next month, hoping for a 35+
-Retaking Math II, taking Lit in October</p>
<p>The McNair Scholarship at University of South Carolina is one that you should check. The application is a doozie but it’s worth it if you are selected.</p>
<p>Jefferson at UVa, but your school has to nominate you and only one student per school is nominated. University of Maryland, Baltimore County, has some nice scholarships, and a good number of the top kids from around this area choose that school. There is a merit thread you might want to review. And is seems as though you posted somewhere else that you will likely be a NMSF. There is a good thread on here for that as well.</p>
<p>All of your SAT sections/subjects are above 700. Retaking is probably overkill. Although College Board will be hapy to take your money. If you were my kid, I would tell you not to bother with the fourth SAT II as well.</p>
<p>thanks thumper and MDmom…I’m only retaking Math II since my top choice at is Wharton at UPenn, and nearly all competitive applicants have an 800. </p>
