IIRC I got a 31 but wasn't rolling in the scholarships. My Hispanic and black friends who scored well less and were no where near the top of our class got full rides or way sweeter scholarships than my small scholarships that didn't last all four years.

So basically, unless she scores near perfect, she won't be seeing a lot of scholarship money unless she wakes up a minority one morning. The truth ain't pretty sometimes. I was actually lied to by the AMOCO scholarship board because I am not a minority....got passed up for a full ride and a month later when things settled my buddy tells me he got the scholarship. He was probably higher than 50th in our class and had a lower GPA than me (7th). He ended up flunking out.
