<p>What exactly makes it stand out?</p>
<p>if no one knows please contribute to my other thread</p>
<p>also how good is u minn’s financial aid for out-of-staters with an efc of 0</p>
<p>It depends on your stats, meaning high school GPA & class rank, SAT/ACT scores, extracurriculars, awards, etc. If you’re in the top echelon of the incoming UMN CSE students, you could get a lot of aid. Check the U’s web site for incoming freshman averages in the College of Science & Engineering. Our family had an EFC of 99,999 and S still got a lot of scholarships. </p>
<p>Thanks…should i only expect merit aid?</p>
