Salloum wroteYou really should go for early admission. You have an 800 on Math and 640 on reading is a very respectable score. I got into engineering with a 1300 (750 and 550). Don't waste your time and possibly give up the chance for a scholarship, because even if they told you they wouldn't, it seems obvious that most merit scholarships will go out to early applicants due to their marks.
The thing is I think 1440 is not a very solid score to get the scholarship (Top 6 of all AUB applicants). Of course, my grades will also help, but still. I'm gonna give them a phone call shortly and ask them about the date merit scholarships are announced. If that date would be relatively early, then I think that would give them away, and thus, I'll apply early.
