No, I’m not.
Schools that are unknowns, like McDaniel, have to buy kids in - most kids. If you are over delivering stat wise, then you help their overall profile.
Johns Hopkins can get someone to pay $90K a year. McDaniel cannot - so they offer merit money to get butts in seat. Washington College is another.
You can look at the St. Mary’s scholarship page to see this.
See note above - if you fix for Penn, they will see the two as well unless they put an opportunity in the portal.
Good luck.
