<p>Well, UMich offers automatic merit aid up to full ride,</p>
<p>I don’t think UMich has “automatic” merit. If you could provide a link that indicates such, please do.</p>
<p>Automatic scholarships specify needed stats and are awarded to all that meet those req’ts. I don’t see where UMich offers that. </p>
<p>Do you mean that UMich has auto scholarships for particular majors? If so, please show that link as well.</p>
<p>I believe that UMich has competitive merit that it awards to some students that it wants for various reasons.</p>
