Merit scholarships are given to entice high stat freshman to come to a college. These stats help boost the overall average stats and make the college look better in rankings.
Transfers stats are not counted in these stats so no need to recruit you
1200 is good, but not so good that you would get full tuition
Most of the transfer merit scholarships is for in-state community college students
Northeast has higher SAT scores…look at National Merit Cut offs…so a 1200 would be a higher percentil in WV than it would be in Mass for example
What is your college GPA? That is more of a factor
