<p>Fairly impressive. From the Chronicle of Higher Education:</p>

<p>Harvard University once again had the most freshman Merit Scholars in 2007, according to calculations drawn from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's annual report, which was released this week. The university had 285 Merit Scholars, down slightly from 2006's total of 294. The University of Texas at Austin moved to second place from third, with 283, and Northwestern University moved from sixth to third, with 249.</p>
