<p>If you need merit scholarships in order to attend college, then you need to QUICKLY apply where FOR SURE you’ll get enough merit…otherwise you may find no affordable schools.</p>
<p>PSU is AWFUL with merit. I highly doubt you’ll get a dime from them.</p>
<p>Pitt is very iffy with merit. Merit seems to go to those who apply EARLY. Their methods for awarding just can’t be predicted. </p>
<p>Cornell doesn’t give merit.</p>
<p>UVA’s merit is rare and not likely for your stats.</p>
<p>Your stats are very good, but unfortunately, they’re average for most of those schools in eng’g, so not likely going to get much/anything.</p>
<p>SAT II’s rarely matter for merit.</p>
<p>Right now, it’s too unknown for UPitt…you might get some, you might get none. You won’t get much/anything from PSU.</p>
<p>do not have the money to afford these well-known schools</p>
<p>How much merit do you need? In other words…how much will your parents pay?</p>
<p>YOU QUICKLY need to apply to some financial safety schools…I’m concerned that you won’t have any affordable schools based on your list.</p>
