<p>So, I am looking for good merit money and am not applying to any schools that don't give some. I am also national merit (and have virtually guaranteed 1/2 tuition at some schools). </p>
<p>Here's my question: Will I get any offers better than 1/2 tuition at these schools...?</p>
<p>Boston University
Tulane University
University of Richmond
University of S. California
George Washington University</p>
<p>OR---will any of these schools give me <em>any</em> merit money?</p>
<p>Washington University
Rice
Vanderbilt
Washington & Lee</p>
