<p>I'm a girl applying to Engineering. Say, what exactly are the credentials for a merit scholarship? I know (by numbers) it's something like top 1% of the class, but what does that mean in stats and other stuff?</p>
<p>How does a couple minor nat'l awards, a bunch state awards, more locals & school-wide awards, a couple presidencies, a couple captancies, some other offices, currently 2/~330, UMich GPA of 3.8-ish (I think, but everyone who's not the genius in my AP Lang class got B's or lower), and SAT I & II's each 750+ look?</p>
<p>My family's EFC is under 10k, so I guess I qualify for "merit aid with need"?</p>
