<p>How does the Harvey S Mudd Merit Award work?</p>
<p>I was not granted an award with a 2370 SAT (800CR/800M/770W) and an average of 790 on 4 SAT Subject tests. My school doesn’t rank (as it is a competitive boarding school) but I was about top 5%. </p>
<p>Any ideas how it is awarded these days (obviously it is much more vague than in the past when there were set qualifications).</p>
