Weenie - All my D's acceptance letter said was that she would be considered for merit scholarships including NMF (which she wasn't even in the running) and "high achieving out of state" scholarships. They have never given us any details about cut offs or criteria. Someone on CC told me they were told it was guaranteed for any OOS student with an ACT of 29+ or SAT of 1280+ and top 15% of class. Technically, the OOS is $6850. The additional $1000 was from the Oxford Scholar Program (which is 1250 SAT and top 10%). That one burns me a bit, because I think she belongs in the Honors program (which is $2000 and preferential treatment.)
