[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does this matter at all? I've never seen ANY correlation of national merit scholar status to career success. College placement is plainly a better indicator of student success. [/quote] It matters if you want a shot at the $35M in National Merit scholarships. Also, if you are applying to any private school during early high school years, as we may be, the PSAT is the first thing that say, Groton, looks at because it is the great equalizer. Straight As at one school is not straight As at another school.[/quote] There was a time when a $2,500 scholarship made a big dent in the tuition - now?[/quote] But it is a credential that follows you for life, like Phi Beta Kappa.[/quote]
