| I think we need to set some definitions. What exactly are we defining as "good with merit money?"
Are we talking about schools that give full rides to a few selected students or are we talking about schools that give merit awards to a high percentage of students? Two completely different things -- and the average merit award is probably something we need to consider as well. Some schools potentially fall into both categories.
Schools that give full rides (or close to it) to selected students:
Emory
Vanderbilt
Southwestern U (TX)
Dickinson
Seattle U
Johns Hopkins
University of Arizona
Arizona State U
Schools that offer some merit money to a large percentage of students:
Beloit
Goucher (this may be changing however)
Knox
College of Wooster
Hendrix
University of Redlands
Whittier
Chapman U
DePauw
Lawrence
University of Puget Sound
Gustavos Adolphus
Case Western
Texas Christian University
Wabash
Albion
