<p>Yes. I was awarded a $12,000/year merit scholarship from Oberlin in addition to my need-based aid. For kicks, some basic statistics:</p>
<p>SAT: 800 verbal, 760 math, 750 writing
GPA: 4.1 weighted, 8th out of 230 students
Zany zany miscellany: National AP Scholar, National Merit Commended, various writing awards.</p>
<p>I’ve heard several other people say they were given scholarships, and I’ve heard of amounts larger than mine. So yes, they give aid fairly generously, and though you gave little details there, it’s reasonable to hope for merit aid.</p>
