[quote=Anonymous]It places you in the top 1% of PSAT test takers and for some students they earn a free ride to college which is an incredible benefit. We did not make a big deal about the NMSF in our household because ds was not applying to any of the schools that are generous with aid for NMSF and because ds was already stressed out about all the tests he would have to take in 11th grade. He did not do well in the PSAT but he did well in the actual SAT a month later (1550 which is in the 99th percentile) so hopefully that will suffice. It is also nice to add NMSF to the academic honors portion of the Common App. Here is a list https://www.college-kickstart.com/blog/item/colleges-with-great-scholarships-for-national-merit-finalists[/quote]
