<p>I know, I know....i can read the 25th to 75th percentile acceptance numbers. What we're curious about is what kind of ACT's/grades are getting merit money?</p>

<p>My impression is that there is not an abundance of merit aid at Wake.</p>

<p>

<p>And some of it requires financial need as well.</p>

<p>Also keep in mind that many schools that do award merit aid will simply reduce need-based aid by a like amount, on the theory that the merit award reduces the student’s calculated need. </p>

<p>Wake Forest does not meet 100% of financial need; according to U.S. News, only 64% of Wake undergrads had their financial need fully met. I don’t know exactly how Wake Forest does this, but for many schools that don’t meet 100% of financial need, “merit” aid is simply a way of rationing the limited amount of FA money that’s available.</p>
