<p>Just received a letter today notifying me that I received a $8,000/year merit based scholarship from the UM College of Engineering. I was just wondering if anyone else got this, and whether this is a rare offer.</p>

<p>I’m sure it’s pretty rare, especially receiving one this early. Congrats!</p>

<p>Could you please post your stats? I’m trying to figure out if I have any chance at any merit aid at all (although it’s unlikely due to my low ACT).</p>

<p>Also, did you only get a letter, or an email too?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>
