I don’t have a definitive answer. However, my son was not offered any merit $s. (Fwiw, we knew we would not meet any need-based criteria at ANY school.) Also, we are OOS (IL) so that may have something to do with it.

He was accepted EA in CoE. His stats: 35 ACT, 4.0 UW/4.6W, NMF, NHS, 2 sport athlete for all 4 yrs, on an engineering academic team last 2 yrs, lots of service hours and on an exec board for a service organization. Graduated w 10 APs with all 5s. (CS, Calc BC, APUSH, Gov, Chem, Physics 2, Macro/Micro, Stats, Lang)

Regardless, I believe you should definitely apply early. In my opinion, your residency and your choice of major may be contributing factors in merit $ offers. Good luck!
