@TLD1267 I certainly understand your frustration. We selected some schools based on stats as they relate to merit scholarship potential because we have a high EFC so don’t qualify for need based aid. According to the websites, my daughter is in the top 75% of accepted student stats for applicants at most of the schools that she has applied, and theoretically an excellent candidate for top merit scholarships, however while she has been offered some level of merit scholarship at all of the public schools that she applied to, most have been good but not the top level offered. At UConn we were thinking she might get something but it probably wouldn’t be enough, and we’re surprised to get the STEM honors and scholarship offer. And today my daughter was completely rejected by Northeastern, when her stats were definitely at their high end, so go figure. So it just goes to show that admissions is a bit of a black box as is the whole scholarship scene.
