<p>Oh - I didn’t know about the Presidential Scholarship opportunities. That’s pretty cool. Except I’m just your average demographic for UF…
white [well, technically…half-Asian…it’s negligible…]
upper-class
over-achieving
No luck xD</p>
<p>Haha, that’s too bad. You could always think of yourself as being Asian, but technically half white… :)</p>
<p>I’m 100% Chinese, so hopefully that will help. But probably not.</p>
<p>Glad you’re going to FSU Dnerd. </p>
<p>I am sure there is much less attitude at FSU since half the students are so inebriated that most won’t be having a coherent thought, let alone a attitude.</p>
<p>Right, that’s why FSU is constantly ranked as the number 1 party school in the country. Oh wait…</p>

<p>Vertigo, you greatly underestimate UF’s shoddiness.</p>
<p>$500 per semester for National Merit Finalists.</p>
<p>UCF offers $5000 per semester.</p>
<p>Holy moly joefrommiami - I hadn’t looked into it that far but…wow. UF is just too cool for NMF/NMSF merit. xD
@Ryan82 - oh c’mon now. To be honest, I don’t think FSU’s physics department had a nationally-acclaimed scholar coming out of it for nothing. Any one of the new baby Gators could easily attend, get smashed every weekend, not study, and be shipped home with a sub-2.0 GPA…senseless. <em>That</em> is an issue of autonomy and personal direction - not the institution that one chooses to attend. So let’s cut down on the cheap shots.
Anyway…no need to hijack this thread. OP - merit scholarships are minimal for entering freshman it seems D: Best of luck and see you in the Fall [: x</p>
