Given the extreme vagueness of good stats and few ECs, that could mean just about anything. @meiyong needs to either post actual stats and provide more thorough information or spend time researching automatic merit that matches the student’s stats. The “little ECs” probably disqualifies the student from competitive merit. Since the OP was so vague, threads like these, even if extremely out of date, might be a good starting pt.
