[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will these unusually high cut offs make the new college board recognition for “top 10% psat score in your school” mean more? I had thought it was fairly meaningless, but I also thought my 223 kid in Md had a shot of NMSF(!). FWIW her CC says this new “recognition” is worth putting on application. [/quote]

It’s the same recognition for getting 2 or more APs with scores of 3 or higher. Meaning that it’s unclear which achievement you got it for, or both. I can’t imagine that it’s worth anything at all.  [/quote]

You have to take the 2 AP exams by the end of 10th grade to qualify for the award. Which is rare at virtually every rural, urban, and independent high school in the country. So at all those schools, the award is helpful. At powerhouse suburban high schools where everyone takes 65 APs the award is less of a differentiator.[/quote]

That is incorrect. My child received the award and only took one AP class in tenth grade and none in ninth[/quote]
