<p>Do all students who meet the eligibility requirements receive the Harvey S Mudd Merit Scholarship? It says so in the 07-08 Financial Aid page, but I can't find it anywhere else. I meet the requirements but I haven't received a notification in the acceptance letter... </p>
<p>*My school doesn't rank, but our guidance counselors told us that they will report our percentile in their recommendation letters.</p>
<p>I don’t think they have any set criteria that they publish. I think those who got the award this year heard in their acceptance packets. Here is the link to the merit page on that award:</p>

<p>Thank you, intparent!</p>
<p>They did away with the automatic criteria a few years ago. Partly this was so they could give it to students who were barely outside the top 10% at a small school (think someone ranked 9th out of 80). They now also consider extracurricular activities, so meeting the old criteria is no longer a guarantee.</p>
