<p>I'm applying to CIT as my first choice, any chance of me getting merit aid??</p>

<p>If you don't, I don't know who should. The only reason for you not to get one is if they are pushing for more woman or other minority applicants. However, I would say that you have a safe bet for some good merit aid.</p>

<p>You will ABSOLUTELY receive merit if you apply CIT. My son got merit to CIT with similar stats.GOOD LUCK!</p>
