[quote=Anonymous]My kid was a NMF. It is not a big deal at all - unless you are interested in significant merit aid at one of the schools that buys NMFs to burnish their rep. Highly selective colleges couldn't care less. They are interested in your SAT/ACT (and SAT II) scores, not what you got when you took the PSAT as a junior. The nicest thing about it is the recognition that comes from the internal school community for your kid. Since very few people brag publicly about their kids' test scores, this is a socially acceptable way of getting some positive attention for academic acumen. [/quote]
