[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember that nearly all the NMSF slots in DC get gobbled up by private school kids. The awards are allocated by "state" and are based on where a kid attends school, not their home. Because of that, DC has the highest cutoff score in the country just about every year and so any public school kid that makes it on the list is really punching above their weight.[/quote] I thought there was some suggestion that the NMSC just follows a policy of setting the cutoff for DC the same as the highest for any state (this year, New Jersey, at 223). If so, it would just happen that the vast majority of kids in DC meeting the cutoff attend private schools. [/quote]
