<p>I had a 2040 SAT, 3.83 Weighted, and ranked ~40/200. Asian-American. Got 24k merit. Your extracurricular also blow mine out of the water.</p>

<p>My guess is they just haven’t sent yours yet, but you will definitely get something close to what I got at the very least.</p>

<p>Well that makes me feel better. Maybe it’s the fact my Dad hasn’t sent in that verification form yet, :/</p>

<p>Your stats are very impressive but there are plenty of people with impressive stats that did not end up with merit money or as much as they thought they deserved. You really can’t say who is going to get it and who is not. Unfortunately, it’s almost completely unpredictable. And keep in mind that some merit scholarship amounts also factor in need. </p>

<p>Did you get a FA package with your acceptance? If not, then they are obviously still working on it so tell your dad to send in the verification form bc he’s holding things up! Good luck! :)</p>
