for what it’s still worth (and I know the thresholds have changed), this was posted on the class of 2027 thread a couple of years ago. I was following that thread at the time, for S23 (class of 2027). That year, my son had a 1360 SAT and did NOT receive merit. I recall hearing that the minimum threshold had changed to 1400 (or equivalent ACT ~32). Message #23 or 24.
