And, since you are a football guy, I have to point out that Michigan went 3-9 last year, while UNC went 8-5 including a bowl loss in the postseason. Still, hard to compete with the atmosphere surrounding Michigan football. Hopefully they can get things back on track; I was a huge Mike Hart fan when he played there.

<p>Yeah, actually I’m more of a Notre Dame fan, and I know what it is like to be in the dumps like that. </p>
<p>Yeah, Butch Davis is doing pretty good back in the college game. Too bad it couldn’t work out with the Browns, lol.</p>
<p>The reason I mentioned Delaware in this thread was because a friend’s S was offered generous merit $ to attend (Engineering). Our high school GC thought Delaware was looking to align their tuition with UConn, in state. I have to say that this boy graduated top 10% of his class and had strong SAT scores. (He will be attending U of Michigan in the fall.)</p>
<p>LSU merit scholarships are based on scores from either the SAT or ACT. I noticed on their financial aid web page that they are in the midst of reviewing award criteria and will post scores needed for each scholarship by the end of the summer.</p>

<p>^Thanks, I was looking into Clemson, until I found out it didn’t offer my major.</p>

<p>@NJPaladin: Still have one question: Are you guaranteed to get the Golden Oaks Scholarship if you have those cutoffs?</p>

<p>Pierre…An OOS tuition waiver means that an OOS student now pays the instate Cost of Attendance. How much is the instate COA for Clemson?</p>
<p>Pretty old thread but GVSU in Michigan has an OOS waiver and its fairly easy to get. A 26 ACT and 3.5 GPA will get you IS tuition plus $1500. Therefore it is a fantastic deal for OOS students. Even if you don’t get the waiver, OOS tuition is $13400 or equivalent to the prices of in state colleges in a state like Illinois. As for Michigan, Illinois and all those other schools lowering OOS tuition, that will never ever happen. I know for U of M they have so many OOS applicants there is no need to lower the tuition and its very easy to raise the tuition quite a bit and not feel an effect.</p>
<p>Oops never followed up on Mom2collegekids 's post but the current in-state tuition costs for Clemson (this past academic year, going up 3-4% though for next year) is $12,319</p>
