What does Tulane base their merit scholarships on?

Mostly on numbers, but the other factors help push the award. Having top test scores and GPA get the highest awards, naturally, while having one of those two areas be superior will still often get something. So for example, someone just reported that they got $20,000 merit with a 4.0 GPA but “only” a 28 ACT. I think the award might have been bumped up some because the rest of this student’s resume was outstanding as well. But everything I have seen for 5+ years indicates it is largely stats driven.
