I'm curious about this. In several states - I thought all states - a sufficiently high ACT score will get you either a free ride, or a half-cost ride to any public university. Mid-20s is enough to get half. Is that not the case in your state?

Absolutely not. I was well into the 30s on mine, and the financial aid office still told me to fuck off. I suspect it varies a lot from state to state, hence a lot of people's condescending attitude and disbelief.
