I would say this definitely varies by school; 2 of D20’s merit offers had a top 10% requirement, the others did not say. She too was from a top public hs, with a large concentration of high stat kids (tech field relo city, so high performing parents). I’m not sure schools really had a grasp on what to look at this year due to so many test optional applicants; some schools are still requiring test scores for top merit. It will be interesting to see how merit works out during covid. Not sure what sport, but there are so many people on CC who’ve been through this process, they may be able to offer suggestions of other D3 schools with great merit. Does she want to go to a small LAC; is she looking at D3 just to continue competing in her sport?
