I got a full tuition scholarship from our flagship State U as a NMSF but that was 20+ years ago. No idea if they still do this. Also, tuition was an incredible $16/semester hour back then when I started. When I left it was all the way up to $28 which caused quite an outcry. They were practically giving away higher education back then. What happened I wonder?
All of the NMSF ratio discussions caused me to take a look at NMSF at the local competitor private schools. I guess our small private school is in line with the large public schools for NMSF per capita based on this thread's discussion but our direct competition private schools are drubbing us. (We have had 3 2005-11 with 70-75 graduets per year.) One has had 30 NMSF from 2006-10 with graduating classes of 85-90 and the other has had 22 in the past 3 years with 92-97 graduates per year. If the SAT is an IQ test does that mean all the smart kids in town go to these schools? Their numbers are insanely high!
