I got a letter saying the same.

Personally, it doesn’t bother me because 1. selection for difficult programs like Merit and top notch colleges is pretty erratic. and 2. I applied to a huge number of scholarships, so being rejected again doesn’t bother me. Think about it this way - you were smart enough to score high on the SAT, get into a great school, and have a very large quantity of other scholarship-titles attached to your name.
