[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is up for school recognition award? What does that mean? No idea if she is in top 10% of PSAT (didn’t prep for it and not a national merit candidate) but did get 5s on 3 APs taken in 9th and 10th. Does the school get to pick who wins the award(s)? Is it more than one per school? Won’t the national merit scholars just win everything (at our W school at least)? [/quote] The criteria for getting the School Recognition Award is on their website. Your DD qualified by getting the 5s on 3 APs and possibly also being in the top 10% of PSAT (college board has all the data on both). There's no "winner" - literally everyone in the top 10% of psat takers at your kids' school AND everyone who took 2 or more APs by end of soph year is getting the same award. That's why it's a meaningless recognition since your kid will be compared to other kids at their school.[/quote]
