<p>I KNOW I went back and changed this, but it must not have saved. In the box where it asks if you plan to apply for merit based aid, S had initially left it blank, so I went in and fixed it, but it, as I said, did not remain fixed and I only noticed as I looked at one of the submitted apps. Something got screwed up I guess, but since he DOES want to apply for merit based aid, what can we do? If that box is not checked, do they overlook the app for merit-aid? Should he contact the school(s)?</p>
<p>yea just contact the schools and say you want to apply for merit aid.</p>
