I meant for this to post on the rival fan’s kid attending Auburn thread, but it’s relevant to this too. As much as we trash talk each other, I would have been happy for my son to get his degree from Auburn. When you’re talking about your kids’ future, this sports rival shite doesn’t matter…

My son had a similar situation. ACT 29, high 3.x GPA. Took ACT 3 times and couldn’t get over that 30 hump even with tutoring. Ugh. Wanted to major in engineering. He applied at Auburn and we spent E-Day there.

He eventually decided to stay close to home and went to UAH. It’s not Auburn but a good engineering program and major opportunities in Huntsville for eng grads. If I remember correctly his package at Auburn was Spirit of Auburn schollie for $5000 a year and some other benefits. Got a similar deal at UAH. That one damn ACT point cost us thousands a year!

it is absolutely amazing the difference in 1 measly point between a 29 and a 30 on the ACT can do for a student when it comes to scholarships , etc.

I hope your kid is enjoying UAH – I know of a few from the Baton Rouge area that attend UAH and absolutely love it.
