<p>Any idea if they consider ACT scores? Also what about the difficulty of your HS program. My son is in the IB diploma program which is much more rigorous than if he had stayed at his home high school. He sacrificed his GPA a bit by doing IB. His WGPA is 4.4, 2100 SAT, 33 ACT and he was accepted into Bioengineering and Scholars. He has received No merit award at all!! So disappointing to say the least. He also has many diverse extracurriculars and leadership too. He too has friends with lower stats that got money. Doesn’t seem to make sense.</p>
