<p>So…anyone win a merit based one? If so, what are your stats? I feel super rejected.</p>
<p>I was rejected in the 2010 cycle but accepted in the 2011 cycle after I got a 4.0GPA in my first semester in college and a strong letter for rec from my college professor. Keep your chin up and apply again :)</p>
<p>Anyone know how and when people are notified for these? My D applied this year and hasn’t heard anything.</p>
<p>I won a merit based one… Found out about 2-3 weeks ago</p>
<p>~2100 SAT (750 Math probably helped a lot) and 1/650 kids in my high school. I’m also very involved in community organizations and hold a lot of offices in many extracurriculars. Just keep trying!</p>
