In the case of many major merit scholarships, you are talking about a sizeable amount of money (in many cases well over $100,000) over 4 years. In the case of schools like Emory & WashU almost every scholarship applicant is highly qualified. The competition is intense but the prize can make it all worth while Having met some of these kids, i am amazed at what they have accomplished in their short lives. As for overlaping interview weekends - I can also see the schools point of view - they are looking for the most comited candidates. Considering what they are offering - it does not seem all that unfair. As for the extra work - true it does take a bit of time - but in life you seldom get something for nothing. My recomendation has always been, apply for every potential scholarship and you could end up with a very pleasant surprise.
