just to add onto what FallenAngel9 was saying: don’t underestimate the importance of your activities, awards and essays. i was accepted and received an $18K/yr trustee scholarship with a 33 ACT score and a class ranking of 9/116. you have to meet a certain academic cutoff to receive a serious look, but once you’re past that threshold, the qualitative portions of your application often become more important than the quantitative portions, especially when it comes to the merit scholarships. good luck to future applicants!
