[quote=Anonymous]PP (& apologies for some typos above).  This quoted post from another thread contains a URL link to the National Merit Finalist information I mentioned above.  I am not overly convinced of the value of the SATs, but the trends in this spreadsheet, even at schools that "buy" National Merit Finalists, are useful to see.  Precisely because it's a measure of top scorers.  We all can agree on what this credential means.

It's from this thread, posted 2/26/24 at 21:12.

[quote=Anonymous]OP, what's the source of your data? Is that NMF destinations in 2022? There are some huge changes over 2021.

Here's a spreadsheet I found tracking data back to 1989.

There are three pieces of information I would *love* to have, if anyone has pointers.

1. Number of commended students by high school, because a) score cut-offs do vary for NMSF and b) NMSF is a small enough percentage that it gets kind of  streaky.

2. NMSF admits to colleges, which would bypass the  NMF gamesmenship.

3. All the above data for the ACT and the CLT both of whose providers are, as far as I can tell, more close-mouthed than the SAT. Or maybe I just don't know them well enough.[/quote][/quote]
