<p>I think they are really counting NMFs…not the number of NMFs that get money.</p>
<p>The top schools with the most are usually ivies and they don’t give scholarships. </p>
<p>*If the finalists were counted instead, schools like HYPSM would not “loose” to schools like Northwestern or WUSTL (which can count all finalists as scholars). *</p>
<p>I hope they wouldn’t “loose,” and I hope they wouldn’t “lose”.</p>
<p>Schools are known to say whatever makes their school look better. If they’re going strictly by the word “scholar” then they might get a bump because they award NMF scholarships. However, another school that doesn’t award money can just state that it’s the #x school with NMFs.</p>
