[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on what I've seen my kid has the potential to score high enough for NM consideration.  I'll do enough prep with her so that she can do her best, but I'm not going to go crazy.  There are real financial rewards for doing well on the PSAT nowadays vs. when I took it.[/quote]

There were real financial rewards back then too, you just weren't so aware of it.

I was a national merit finalist and that translated into something like an additional $3K a year in scholarships on top of the tuition waiver I got at my in-state public university for being in the top 3% of my HS class. That covered most of my housing expenses. [/quote]

Could be, but I hear about a lot more about state schools giving free rides to NMSF and above now.  I was a NMSF and my wife was a NMS.  I got nothing, and she got ~2K per year.  Just seems like a lot more schools are targeting scholarships towards high scorers now.[/quote]

Ditto. I was an NMSF and got $1K which didn't go very far at my private college. My kid has an NMSF friend who got a full ride. [/quote]
