Definitely not trying to take a dig at Auburn or others because my grandfather and other family members went there, just basically at our high school in Texas Auburn would give a good amount of scholarship money to kids in the 40th to 70th percentile of the graduating class. Looking back at the kids who not only got in but got scholarship money it can't be too too selective.

Ok... let me clarify a bit. Average ATC score of entering AU freshman was 24.5 when I was a freshman in 2005. It increased to 27.2 in Fall 2011.

A little bit more about AU enrollment as of Fall 2011

I had the opposite happen. I easily got in to Auburn's engineering program with high test scores and a much higher class ranking than what you used as an example but only received about $1300 in scholarship money. Not nearly enough to make it a smart fiscal choice vs. in-state tuition in Texas.
