Received notice in mail
Soil Science major</p>

<p>GPA - 4.0+
AP & Honors classes
Class rank, 12 out of 195
SAT - 1920
Merit Award - $2000
Tons of community service, my son has been a volunteer fireman for over 3 years</p>

<p>Will not attend, felt a smaller school was a better fit for him.</p>

<p>After reading many of these posts I am very disappointed in his merit award amount. maybe in-state students are awarded less overall? The college he will be attending offered him $18,000 based on his gpa/sat/class rank - but it is a private school.</p>

<p>Important to note that my daughter is finishing up her senior year at UD - her credentials were similar to his with slightly higher SAT scores and she was not offered any merit award at all.</p>
