<p>If Harvey Mudd is now giving the Harvey S. Mudd Merit Award to the “top 20%” of the admitted pool, and formerly they gave it to about 40% of the admitted students, that says to me that the award just got twice as hard to get.</p>
<p>I wonder what the criteria will be for who gets chosen and who gets left behind. Does anyone have any more clues? BTW, thanks to Blackroses, Coloradomom, Geekmom, and Seiken for trying to shed some light on this issue!</p>
