I knew a bunch of merit scholars, mostly through the time I spent in Chicago that summer so many years ago (is it really almost 20? Good lord...)

One of the friends I made out there ended up as CEO of Zenith, and was responsible for raising their share price from 6 to 16. My college roomie for three years was a merit scholar and got a double masters (physics and physical chemistry) from the Hop in 4 years(!), and was also an incredible violist. He introduced me to classical music. I introduced him to wild women and Guinness.

Being a merit scholar puts you on a different plane in the eyes of schools - but only because you are already on a different plane.
