[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a National Merit Scholarship finalist, my opinion is this is an utterly meaningless metric, other than singling out some of the schools that are willing to buy the attendance of some kids based on a PSAT score from Fall of junior year, factoring in what state they live in (since the selection index varies widely by state) [/quote] Finalist or winner?[/quote] Why does it matter? Top schools may have more NMF than NMS because they don't offer the merit that turns the NMF into a NMS.[/quote] Not how it works. Winners are chosen by the NMO. [/quote] I understand that NMSC awards scholarships for $2500 to 2500 NMFs and that about another 5k NMF receive corporate- or college-sponsored scholarships, making somewhere around 7500 National Merit Scholars. So, to clarify, "winner" is not NMS? Winner specifically refers to those receiving the scholarship from NMSC?[/quote]
