<p>would Merit Scholarship play a role in one’s college admission, i cant seem to figure out the importance of such event.</p>
<p>Huh? Of course it would play a role. Especially if you’re from a poor-middle class background. Merit aid was one of my top reasons for going Wash U.</p>
<p>I think she means national merit scholarship?</p>
<p>ahhhhh …ok…that makes sense :-)</p>
<p>I’m only commended, but my SATs/ACTs are higher than most finalists at my school. I screwed up the psat.</p>
<p>I don’t think it plays a major role, especially if you have high real SATs/ACTs…</p>
<p>it can only help you… depends what your other stats are. if they’re not-so-stellar, it might not be enough, but if they’re pretty good, it might be that extra something that gets you in.</p>
<p>it also depends on the school. at colleges where tons of ppl have amazing SATs., perfect GPAs, etc. it definitely won’t play much of a role because admissions see it all the time</p>
