Yep. That is EXACTLY what I expected. My kid with her 1470 (only sitting), val, 32 (only sitting) which puts her way over their 75th percentile on SAT (1420), class rank (68% top tenth), and ACT, would be facing off with your kid and many like him at Case in the Merit Wars. I'm not putting my kid's stats down. They are top 1% stats, especially for a math/science over English female but.....look at the competition that exists for these top scholarships at a school ranked 37th by USNWR with a 71% acceptance rank. It's awfully tough out here on the merit merry-go-round.
