[quote=Anonymous]It is pretty meaningless for college admissions, as an earlier poster said the colleges are well aware of the different cutoffs. But it has meaning to communities and students to be able to say "we had X number of merit scholars.." and it has meaning financially, since a Merit Scholar gets a $2500 non-need-based award if makes it to finalist (which in our recent experience is just about automatic from semi-finalist). So seems quite strange that a student with same scores from a DC high school would not get this award but quite a few kids say from TJ get the award with the same exact scores. [/quote]
