Merit

yes…MHS. FYI most of the gpa’s being quoted are unweighted. Just be sure you’re comparing apples to apples when looking at scholarship opportunities. Lots of kids from Mendham heading to Alabama in the last few years. OSU has not become as popular which is a mystery to me because its a great place.

Alabama’s GPA cutoff was based on the weighted average as of the last admission cycle. I believe that LSU is based on core classes only.

@MarcusOSU: Seriously, what have you got against OSU…?

@2muchquan I did mean that they were competitive/not guaranteed but probably coould have stated it more clearly than just saying to apply by November 1 to improve your chances. Thanks for calling it out!

I went to a pretty hard high school in California, got a 3.3 or 3.4 unweighted GPA, 3.7-3.8 or so weighted. I got a 31 on the ACT, which helped me get a crap ton of aid. I got the Provost scholarship, and the National buckeye scholarship, which totals to about 14K a year or so, contingent upon me getting a 3.2 and 2.5 GPA, respectively
