<p>it's so rare to find someone else besides me with 220+ points higher on math than CR. I got 550/770. and it's also weird finding someone else with 130+ difference between CR and writing. I got 550/680. it's even weirder when both of these things are true at the same time when they're each rare by themselves. we have such similar and unusual skills.</p>

In my state of Missouri, you get an $8000 scholarship for scoring a 30 or above on the ACT

</p>
<p>Note that the award is 2K per year; 8K over 4 years. It is good at any accredited school, privates as well as public.</p>
<p>With a lot of luck, that MAY increase to 4K per year, but the rep sponsoring that bill is not making a lot of headway.</p>
<p>monkey, I don't know if the state of IL or individual universities in IL have something similar, but your guidance office would definitely know. Or, you could take a look at the financial aid/merit aid websites of individual colleges and universities.</p>
