<p>Valedictorian of class
720, 800, 650 on SAT (2170)
34 33 33 27 on ACT (32)</p>
<p>My parents make about 100k a year, but I dont know how much they'll help with expenses.</p>
<p>The schools i'm thinking about are UT, Tx Tech, Baylor, and TCU. Any info is great. My counselor is an idiot and my parents are clueless.</p>
<p>You might be able to get a merit-based scholarship because of your valedictorian status, but that's iffy.
Definitely apply for need-based scholarships; most colleges will meet you at least partway.</p>
<p>Have you looked at Southwestern in Georgetown? They offer a lot of merit scholarships. Doesn't UT offer an automatic valedictorian scholarship of some sort?</p>
<p>In Texas, vals get 1st year tuition (only) free @ any Texas public university.</p>
<p>You <em>may</em> be eligible for some merit aid from Baylor but my knowledge of the SAT cut off amounts is 3 years old. Contact FA.</p>
