[quote=Anonymous] NMF is not impressive anymore. The highlight of your glory will be getting named at your high school unless you take advantage of a school that gives a lot of money for it - usually schools not at the top of the list for the highest achievers. But the idea that this honor lasts a lifetime is so silly. A 1600 on the SAT, much harder than NMF is not even noteworthy anymore. I saw 1600 SAT or 36 ACT kids getting WL or rejected left and right from schools you would expect that it would be an auto-admit. Means almost nothing these days thanks to the lib takeover of higher education.[/quote] +1 Agree. My DD’s a NM scholar and received a one time $2k award at Villanova. It’s not a lifetime honor by any means. It’s what a child makes out of his/her career, his progress, and his contribution to society as a whole that matters. [/quote]
