<p>Interesting article about Bama trying to recruit the best and brightest…</p>

<p>can you copy and paste it, i dont feel like registering</p>
<p>I dunno about that, I know someone who got in with a 2.1 and a 1040.</p>
<p>yeah I live in Atlanta and they send me stuff all of the time. It hasnt changed my mind about the school though. "We are the best school in Alabama! Woohoo!"</p>
<p>hey, hey don't talk about alabama like that.</p>
<p>Yeah, all national merit finalists get
tuition for 4 years, regular campus housing for 4 years, $2000 for summer research/overseas study, plus a laptop.</p>
<p>if they want to go, lol</p>
<p>The sad thing is that it's not enough because everyone's like "ALABAMA? LIKE FOOTBALL???"</p>
<p>It's definately worth a visit. My S was recruited last year as a NMS. He ulitmately received a full scholarship to his first choice school, but we were impressed by Alabama. They offer a lot more than football (that's just a bonus:) )You might want to hold off on making a judgement until you check it out.</p>
<p>true, true</p>
<p>A close friend's son just graduated from Alabama. He was NMF and got the free ride. He graduated a semester late because of an internship with the Washington Post where he lived in DC for a semester and worked at washpo. He had been the editor of his high school paper, was a journalism major at Bama, and I think he was also the editor of the Bama newspaper. He's now moving to work in Louisville, KY. He got an excellent education for free. Don't knock it.</p>
