Field notes
The input form accepts a GPA on either a 4.0 or 100-point scale, plus optional ACT and SAT scores and a home state. The page says it matches awards only on the GPA scale used by the college and does not convert between scales. MeritChart reports 315 colleges in its dataset, 1,517 award rows, and checks against a 2,432-college census; these are site-stated figures.
