Where can I reasonably hope for a full merit scholarship? 35 ACT

Many LACs have good math/CS/statistics. The no-rural thing is a challenge, though - any flexibility there? Is a small town 45 minutes from a big city okay? Being male gives you a boost in LAC admissions, where the applicants skew female, particularly as you move down the selectivity scale. And yes, being half Filipino is a help - Asians are URMs at most LACs, even those in the Northeast. Though the most selective LACs offer, like the most selective universities, offer only need-based aid, there are merit opportunities at many others.

What you’re looking for isn’t exactly a needle in a haystack, but it’s not easy to find and get. If you want to have affordable private options in addition to the public ones you’ve already got, you might need to broaden your search criteria.
