<p>Are you testing again? You really need to bump up your M+CR to at least a 1330 to get more merit. Your chances would really improve if you got a 1400 or more.</p>

<p>How much merit do you need?</p>

<p>Will your high school transcript have that weighted GPA on it? </p>

<p>What are your parents saying? How much will they pay each year? For instance, if your parents will only pay $15k per year, then you’d need a full tuition scholarship, so that their money would go for room, board, books, fees, etc.</p>

<p>Your GPA will be an issue for a number of scholarships, but there are some schools that will give you merit. </p>

<p>For example, if your transcript says a 3.6, then Alabama would give you a half tuition scholarship. If you raised your M+CR to a 1330, then you’d get a 2/3 tuition scholarship. If you got a 1400+ SAT, then you’d get free tuition.</p>

<p>edited to add…</p>

<p>I see that you’re an eng’g major. Well, if you got a 1330 M+CR, then as an eng’g major, you’d get free tuition plus 2500 per year from Alabama. That would be a huge scholarship for you. Your remaining costs would be about $12k per year.</p>
