<p>Even as a top applicant, I would not expect much merit (if anything) from NYU. Because D’s stats were WAY above the reported middle range, I inquired as to why she wasn’t offered merit (didn’t expect it, but thought I would ask). I was told that only VERY FEW students get true merit (as least in Arts & Sciences) and that even valedictorians and students with perfect SAT’s don’t necessarily get anything.</p>
