<p>Go ahead and apply to U of K. Then look for other schools. Here is a link to many schools that offer merit aid of at least full tuition. (I hope my link works) <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/211927-institutional-merit-based-scholarships-full-tuition.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/211927-institutional-merit-based-scholarships-full-tuition.html</a> </p>
<p>Your 33 ACT makes you competitive. Go to their websites, and look around. Make a list of some that you think you might like. Research the scholarship requirements. Take all the colleges that you like that you have a shot at a scholarship and make a final list of 5 or 6 or more. Then apply. Make sure you beat the deadlines. Many scholarship deadlines are much earlier than application deadlines. Good luck.</p>
