Hey all,

I just registered cause I had a few questions and someone told me about this site. I was wondering what colleges would it be possible for me to get full tuition/everything but 5k/year (not including dorm and books and stuff. I'm interested in Business management/administration and computer science stuff like systems analyst etc... don't really want to do programming as it's too boring for me. as far as my stats go I have

1490 SAT (750 V, 740 M)
4.0 gpa (weighted)
enrolled in IB program (IB diploma canidate)
have a job and work 25+ hours/week
3 time varsity letter soon to be varsity captain (wrestling)
200 some odd hours community service
i'm not planning on wrestling in college and i've applied to 2 of the instate schools (arizona state and university of arizona) i'm pretty sure i'll get full tuition + some there... i'm not really in "need" of financial aid, as my parents make a decent amoung of money but it's for their retirement and not for my college... but anyway i was just wondering what people thought as far as my options were for maybe a school better than asu/uofa that would maybe offer me free tuition/almost free tuition

thanks in advance,
kelly

Are we talking need based or merit based aid?

try USC, your stats may qualify you for some merit scholarships, and u know, USC has the ability to give a lot. you should get in for sure, theyre better than the arizonas, and usc is known for good business administration (plus connections after you graduate). but you have very good stats and can get into a better school, i just dont know off the top of my head of one that gives big merit scholarship packages.
