National Merit Finalist.

and average SAT scores are 1400-1530 with 1460 being the median

Yes, you’re at the low end, but the likelihood of getting one is very rare with a 1400. Also, your GPA is a problem. Average GPA is a 4.5…the mid-range is 4.33-4.68.

Anyway…what is your situation? How much will your parents pay for college? If you need merit scholarships to pay for college, then it’s NOT a good idea to put much hope in one that you won’t likely get.

If you need merit scholarships, you need to apply to schools that will give you ASSURED merit scholarships for your stats. That way you’ll know for SURE that you have that money.
