<p>Do you feel in increased your merit award from WPI?</p>
<p>I did receive a Rensselaer Medal (they only actually give you the physical medal if you go to RPI XD), but I have no idea how/if that changed anything about my merit aid.</p>
<p>I would guess that if someone actually deserved the medal, there would be many other reasons that WPI would want to give them merit aid. I do know that if one asks for more money, they will sometimes find ways to get you more money, so I’d recommend that.</p>
<p>Was your WPI merit aid as good or better than RPI?</p>
<p>If I remember correctly (and I may not be, I only applied to RPI because of the medal and never seriously considered it for me) then it was the same up to 4k in one direction or another.</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
