He had a 50% scholarship to Cmu with maybe full after yr 1 or 2. Or he could get full ride at hope. Guessing obviously there are ways around it.
i went to CMU, and had friends on scholarships, in their athletic programs - including football, which you would expect to be the shady program, if there was one. as others have somehow mysteriously presumed, all of these people were on academic scholarships, and i knew most of their scores coming in - they were well deserved scholarships. i cant remember meeting someone under a 1500 on their SAT (before they went from 1600 max to 2400, obviously) who had an academic there, so i can basically guarantee you either have no idea what you are talking about, or your friend was offered an academic scholarship (which i doubt, usually people smart enough to get a scholarship to a school like that have smart friends), although i certainly dont intend for that OR to be exclusive.
edit: whoops, typed that yesterday, i didnt mean to bump this stupid thread to the top again. i just saw a post that didnt go through, and sent it on its way...
