[quote=Anonymous]Is being a NMS finalist an advantage when it comes to college admissions? Based on what we know from last year, several kids we know that made to the semi-finalist stage did not want to put in the effort to become a finalist. Their parents were vague about "not being worth it" but didn't want to explain further. Seems odd to me. Why wouldn't it be worth it? Won't colleges look at that as an additional qualifier of scholastic ability? DC has the scores in the PSAT this year we think DC has a fair shot at becoming a semifinalist (top 16,000). Don't want to waste time in pursuing to be a finalist if not worth it.. Looking for advice.. I realize that this is something to worry about in the Fall but want to get our heads around it sooner if possible. [/quote]
