<p>Ok. Thanks for the merit-aid info. I didn’t know that and will look into it! And yes, Ive seen the ACT score ranges for a lot of the highly selective colleges and realize I’m far from qualified! Its a major bummer getting a 28 because a lot of people tell me good job when I tell them my score and that they’d be happy to have a 28 and I’m dissatisfied with it. Oh well… I guess it’s the price of wanting to go to a elite college. </p>
