[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]One of my kids was a NMF. Another was commended. The dfference in interest from colleges was dramatic [/quote] And this was the only difference between them? Come on. I had one NMF and one Commended and both ended up at Ivy schools. I don't think their National Merit status had anything to do with it (though their test scores likely did).[/quote] Yes, they were exactly the same in every regard because they were made in a lab. I mean, seriously, of course not. But NMF kid had mail coming in like he was Harry Potter hearing from Hogwarts. Commended kid got about the same amount of attention as siblings who got neither but had higher SATs (they were all >1500) Commended is a warm pitcher of spit, distinctionwise[/quote] And yet if you lived just an hour west in West Virginia, your commended kid would have been a NMSF.[/quote] Is that your big issue here? Take it up with national merit. [/quote]
