Tea Leaves Question

Ha, my mind can’t wrap around your speculative correlation. Let’s see… if one gets postcard early it is because they are getting merit money, so it is for USC to determine how much merit they should give that person, or second option - one isn’t getting merit money so they should apply for aid? Then enter the timing of the arrival of the card- too many variables, I’m not so good at word problems. “If a postcard leaves the house traveling three weeks ahead of scholarship notifications, but another leaves one day prior to scholarship notifications and person x gets the Trustees, but person y gets nothing…” lol.
