Where can I get a full ride? (34 ACT, 4.0 GPA)

<p>It may be hard for my family to gather enough money for an expensive school, so which colleges could I get some VERY generous merit aid, or even a full ride (based on stats that are guaranteed or an application separate from the University)? I don't really care about prestige, however I do like schools that are somewhat close to a city and are on the bigger side (let's say greater than or ~5000 undergrads).</p>

<p>Also, I am an NC resident.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>There is a thread at the top of the Financial Aid Forum that lists the Guaranteed Full Tuition/Full Ride scholarships. Your GPA and scores qualify you for those scholarships. Read through the list and file your applications NOW. Some have cut-off dates as early as 11/15. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you! I appreciate the responses! I’ll definitely take a look and apply to some that I really like.</p>
