I didn’t apply for a Merit scholarship at Vanderbilt because I figured if by chance I do get in, my financial aid would suffice. In retrospect, this wasn’t a good idea because people are saying not applying for merit implIes that Vanderbilt wasn’t your top choice and there wasn’t definite interest. So if I didn’t apply for merit, is that basically an automatic rejection since I don’t have hooks or anything like that.
