[quote=Anonymous]Seems like the fundamental question this thread tries to engage is what does the number of NMF's at a particular institution tell you? One challenge with this question is we don't have great data on NMF destinations, but we do for Merit Scholars themselves. It does seem to me that if you want to use Merit Scholars as an informative measure about the rest of the students (including the latent NMF number), you need to remove institution-derived scholarships and focus on the NMSC-derived scholarships because these are "exchangeable" with no constraints or specificity to them. Where these students go if probably a sentinel for other students (i.e. NMF that didn't win the ultimate scholarship). As PP showed, need to then adjust for the size of the freshman class. In some institutions, we are talking about ~1000, others ~10,000.[/quote]
