Harvey Mudd Merit Award?

<p>I wasn't notified about the Merit Award. Does this mean I didn't get it? I am unlikely to go if I do not get it. I'm curious as to why I did not as my stats were well above the average accepted for Harvey Mudd. Also, I have a small update that occurred after my application was submitted. I did not send the update to Mudd yet, but could I send it now to try and get the merit award even if I was rejected from the award the first time?</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but my understanding is that financial aid packages will be sent out next week. If you mean the top scholarship that you’d have to interview for - that one has been announced (the finalists at least), but lesser merit awards are still possible.</p>

<p>You most likely did not get it. Harvey Mudd Merit recipients (the $10k annual award) are notified at the time of admission. [HMC</a> Blogs: Admission Edition: Progress?](<a href=“http://www.admissionedition.blogspot.com/2012/03/progress.html]HMC”>HMC Blogs: Admission Edition: Progress?)</p>

<p>They will almost surely not reconsider because they only give out a limited number (~25% of admits get one). If you’re not in the top quartile, you shouldn’t expect to get one. Even if your grades/scores put you in the top quartile, you might not get one anyways unless your activities are similarly strong.</p>
