<ul>
<li>3.98 GPA</li>
<li>2040 SAT with 780 on the math section</li>
<li>lots of AP credits
-Some clubs/activities on the side</li>
<li>currently a freshman in college, so id be transfering</li>
</ul>

<p>Currently I live in the upper midwest. I have a very large EFC. Is there any way I could go down south for school without it being too expensive?</p>

<p>Are there any good schools down south that give a lot of aid based on merit?</p>

<p>I saw this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/848226-important-links-automatic-guaranteed-merit-scholarships.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/848226-important-links-automatic-guaranteed-merit-scholarships.html&lt;/a> but it seems like its all freshman scholarships : /</p>

<p>Are your Critical Reading + Math 1400 or more? If so, you have a full-tuition scholarship at Alabama. If you’re under 1400, you have a 2/3 scholarship:</p>

<p>[Out-of-State</a> Scholarships - Undergraduate Scholarships - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out_of_state.html]Out-of-State”>http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out_of_state.html)</p>

<p>Also check out Auburn, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss and LSU.</p>

<p>Also, on the private side, Tulane is renowned for merit. You might hope to get $20-25,000 a year toward a total cost just over $50,000 a year. A limited number of full rides are available.</p>

<p>U. of Miami and Rhodes are also worth checking out.</p>

<p>I do, but it says, “An out-of-state first-time freshman student.” Because im currently a freshman at another university I probably wouldnt be able to get it right? I probably should have posted this in the transfer section…</p>
