yes, it may need to be north now, or some combination of standardized test and GPA??
this was posted 2 cycles ago, but was referring to several cycles before that. So clearly, the thresholds have increased, but it at least gives some idea of the parameters (test/GPA) being looked at. The hyperlink is a table of merit levels
@Bluesky432 tagging you here so I don’t hijack the other thread. In answer to your question about auto merit, we don’t know those levels/amounts yet; unless they change notification with the new EA applications, that info isn’t usually available until February. The last few years amounts ranged from $5k-$12.5k/year. The higher end has usually been for 34+ACT/top 10%/3.8-3.85+ uwgpa. Test optional can reduce the merit amount. This chart reflects levels 3 cycles ago; the top amount went up by about 500, but it gives you an idea of how they’ve historically awarded merit. This table doesn’t account for departmental or alumni scholarships which can add $500-$2k depending on the scholarship awarded. It also doesn’t include NMSF $. The only stat not listed is the uwgpa; from what I’ve observed over the last several years, uwgpa’s under 3.8 were left out, even with high test scores. If I hear anything about this year’s levels, I’ll certainly let everyone know.
