<p>My son really wants to go to American. He is a junior now and will apply in the autumn. Does he have a shot at merit scholarship money and/or honors program?</p>
<p>Hi,
I would say yes for merit - as for honors, that depends upon the rest of the applicant pool. It would be great if he could get his SAT's up a little, as 700 seems to be a bit of a magic number, but again that depends upon the pool. good luck! My s is very happy at AU.</p>
<p>Yeah, the SAT's are a bit low. AU's average SAT score for honors students is around a 1440 to 1450 M+V. However with a 3.9, your son could probably pass with a 1400.</p>
<p>My son is also hoping so much for admission/merit at AU. He has 12 AP classes total, all 4s and 5s and will graduate no. 4 of 802. His SAT was 2290, with an 800M and 760V. I have my fingers crossed, because (even though he will be stoic), I know he will be disappointed if it doesn't work out.</p>
<p>there is virtually no chance that your son doesn't get merit $. you son appears to be a top honors program material. unless AU is out of its mind, your son is in with mucho dinero.</p>
