<p>Oh, and another question. Apparently UMich has scholarships (or merit aid, not sure) that they give out to ANY student. A person who works there as part of the financial dept. said that they give out scholarships and do not consider based on where you live (OOS, international, and instate are all on the same playing field) and that it is ONLY for financial aid that the uni. considers residence (only instaters get FA).</p>
<p>So, does this seem to be correct information? Is it merit aid or scholarships that I have to apply for?</p>
<p>If I apply EA and I am accepted (hopefully!) when would UMich notify me if I receive anything? Do I have to apply for these scholarships/merit aid (I don’t know if they are scholarships that I need to apply for or merit aid or scholarships that you don’t have to apply for)? And, if I am accepted EA, will they use my Oct. SAT I score to determine if I am qualified enough for these scholarships or whatever they are? (My May score was 2090 and I doubt that would be sufficient for these scholarships/merit aid).</p>
<p>Please respond if you know the answer.</p>
