<p>Are your test scores very high for those schools?</p>
<p>Schools don’t give merit to all students. They don’t even give to “most” students. They give to a smallish number of TOP students. And, many schools don’t give any scholarships.</p>
<p>What are your test scores and GPA?</p>
<p>If you were expecting merit, then you need to apply to the schools that will give those awards for your stats. </p>
<p>IUIC doesn’t give many scholarships. To get one you’d have to have really high stats.</p>
