[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the odds of  NMF for the semifinals ?[/quote]

Pretty good. I think it's like 15,000 of 16,000 become finalists.[/quote]

Not many become NM Scholar.[/quote]

Lots become NM Scholar. They can do it with direct scholarship from nmsc,  school scholarship or corporate scholarship.

Mine got a school scholarship,  but she turned it down for another school that didn't offer one. The system of awards is complex, and, if you like a school that offers a nm scholarship,  those are usually better than the straight awards. You just need to designate the school, but you'll get instructions on that when NMF. There are also good threads on college confidential if you need more info when the time comes in Mar or so.

Do a decent job on the essay (can usually reuse common app) and submit what they need, and you should be good. I think the ones who don't get NMF are pretty much kids who didn't submit the requirements.

Congrats,  NMSF kids! [/quote]
