<p>what?! i was looking off the ut website for so long!</p>
<p>THANK YOU!
...anybody know how hard it is to get the OOS waiver?
i have a 4.2, 34 act and 6 ap classes (so far a 5 in ap us gov).
good leadership (president of a club, editor in chief of newspaper, local community board, important church board)</p>
<p>..thats the quick version</p>
<p>They are not generous at all, my step brother received little financial aid and no scholarships and his application was amazing probably thought of as 'good' with CC standards.</p>
<p>My family's EFC is very little too</p>
<p>I heard UTSA's financial aid/scholarship is much more generous, but don't go there. I had to spend a week there for a german competition and the campus sucks ass.</p>
<p>Merit based aid is ****ty...</p>
<p>BUT if you get any scholarship of at least $1,000 and are OOS you will get an OOS waiver in addition to that.</p>
<p>Full rides are pretty much non-existent unless you are a recruited athlete or are one of a very few incredible all-around applicants. To put it to you this way...Liberal Arts will have approx. 2500 entering freshman to the best of my knowledge this fall. Of them, 6 will be receiving scholarships from COLA. However, those scholarships are $52,000 each, so there are some definite benefits if you are an outstanding candidate.</p>
<p>Depends on the college. Both Cockrell and CoFA give out pretty hefty scholarhips. Keeping a high gpa is also important to get inter-departmental/college scholarships.</p>
