<p>On a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it to get a merit scholarship to Claremont McKenna? Even more so, how many are there in total?
Thanks. ;p</p>
<p>[Academic</a> Scholarships, Types of Aid, Financial Aid, Claremont McKenna College](<a href=“http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/finanaid/types/scholarships.php]Academic”>http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/finanaid/types/scholarships.php)</p>
<p>So they offer 20 McKenna Achievement (4x$10k), 5 Seaver Leadership (4x$40k), 10-12 Interdisciplinary Science Scholarship (4x$40) and $1-2k National Merit</p>
<p>You have got to be in the top 1-2% of their pool to be competitive. But they do end up giving out about twice as many scholarships as this because their yield is about 50% for these applicants.</p>
<p>With these qualifications (xD) and a projected 2200+ (even 2300 is possible) SAT score, do I have any realistic chance in qualifying for a significant merit scholarship for Claremont McKenna?

Be brutal. Thanks.</p>

<p>The McKenna scholarships are for students who show academic and extracurricular promise and who will likely shine in the CMC community. Strip away all the ********, and that means they’re for students who would otherwise go to any Ivy. If you think you could get into a couple Ivies you might be qualified for the McKenna. But they’re extremely difficult to get.</p>
<p>Would a 2320 SATI, a 4.46 WGPA, and significant ECs do some good? xD</p>
