Student enrollment

Thats absurdly low. It was a min of 26 back in the late 90s. I enrolled there out of state in 99. I thought the ACT changed a decade or so ago and the scoring is easier now. if thats true, then getting anything for a 22 is even more absurd.
Wanting out of state kids is great and all, but desperation is a delicate balance.
Agreed, and it's not much, but as a parent with 2 in college at the same time, every single dollar helps.

My daughter went to State in the freshman class of 2012 from our hometown of St Louis. MSU has had a recruiter visit her high school (and others I'm sure) every year since. I know of one student from her high school who will be a member of the incoming freshman class this fall and is an extremely intelligent student, planning to study one of the engineering disciplines, as my daughter did with Chem Eng.
MSU has a darn good story to tell, and sell, with the engineering school. They should be aggressive in recruiting to those degrees.

Back in 2004, Mississippi State was the only school who sent a recruiter to see me. I had full or partial scholarships to a number of schools, but it meant a lot to me that State actually sent a warm body. I almost did a "hat switch" at the last minute, but USM's scholarship package was just too much to pass up. I ended up getting paid to go to school. Good to see that the "boots on the ground" approach is paying off big dividends for MSU. Hard work pays off big time.
The link refers to the "written portion of the ACT or SAT". Does the ACT have a written portion now? I knew the SAT did, but did not know the ACT had one.
I've heard at times that the ACT is "harder" than the SAT. Any truth to that?

One thing seems evident to me from what I've seen ... MSU, and presumably Ole Miss too, try very hard to keep tuition as low as possible so more students can afford to go. In the end, virtually all state schools are a really good deal compared to their private counterparts, and with honors colleges, offer just as complete an education.
I googled, and according to what I found, Alabama tuition is $10,470; Auburn is $9,072; MSU is $8,318; and Ole Miss is $8,290.
So State is about 20% cheaper, in state, than Alabama. I'm surprised that Alabama is so much more than Auburn though.

You can't even come close to stacking enough to cover the cost of attendence with a 22. I don't think that gets you anything by itself. My son had a 32, was Star Student and Valdictorian at his school and his scholarships stacked don't quite cover it. It's close. He will be a 5th years Sr. due to co-ops.
