[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of bitter losers here. [/quote] I don't live in MD, but I feel for the kid that got 1500/1520 and didn't make the cut - that kind makes this whole process seem a bit silly now. At least in trying to call it national recognition. Ultimately the system is what it is and that's life. But one can have empathy. There is increasingly little money connected to NMF anymore so it's largely about bragging rights unless one was hoping to go to Bama or Tulsa. And bragging rights kinda lose its sheen when the differences across states are so vast. And it still has legacy 2x weight for verbal which is pretty arbitrary when they went from 2 section to 1. It's actually a rather strange national recognition program/process. Maybe thats partly why schools have been dropping scholarships over the years.[/quote]
