<p>Given that at F&M, last year, (.2%) of freshmen (1 person) had no financial need and received merit aid, average amount $2,500, I don’t think you can expect to get much merit money from them. Though Wake Forest has the prestigious Reynold scholarship, it’s highly competitive, but I guess that’s what reaches are all about. </p>
<p>Look at the Catholic schools, and schools like UDenver, DePauw, Tulsa, Pitt, for merit. No sense fishing where there ain’t none.</p>
