<p>My son was admitted to EE 4 years ago. He was in the top 3% and his SAT M+V was 1500. He didn’t take the PSAT junior year so he wasn’t eligible for National Merit status. He had few extracurriculars, no volunteer work and refused to join NHS. He received a scholarship worth $18,000 over 4 years as long as he maintained a 3.5 GPA which he did. He says the scholarships given in engineering bascially look at SAT and class rank with maybe a little extra thrown in for National Merit status.</p>
