[quote=Anonymous]Any school that is "meets need" most likely does not give much merit. And they don't have to, because they have plenty of applicants to fill their classes without it. Merit is given to attract high-quality applicants. If your daughter is needing merit, she needs to target schools where she is above the 75% for grades and test scores- she needs to be the top-quality applicant COMPARED TO THEIR APPLICANT POOL. You can also look at Jeffrey Selingo's "Who gets in and Why" and look for BUYERS. Buyers give merit. SELLERS do not. The more selective meets need schools are sellers. The list is free. Wellesley is a seller. Smith is a seller. Bryn Mawr is a mild buyer. Mt. Holyoke is a mild buyer. Etc. You want a buyer, or even an extreme buyer, if you need merit. https://jeffselingo.com/which-colleges-are-really-buyers-and-which-are-sellers/ [/quote]
