[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about how this works. Is it just PSAT?[/quote]

Yes.  But it gets you a lot of scholarship offers.[/quote]

NMSF is a semi-big deal until the day you take the SATs. After that, no one gives a shit how you did on the PSAT. Signed, a NMSF from a long time ago. [/quote]

I hope you're right. My kid got a high score on PSAT but didn't get NMSF because her math score was significantly higher than her verbal. And that kind of stinks.[/quote]

DP.  I understand your feelings but I've come to conclude the reasons they double the verbal is to ensure a more even gender distribution of NMSFs.  I am a female NMSFer who had an asymmetry with higher verbal. I only recently dug into the reasons for this.  The web has info.  It's kind of shocking actually.

Be glad that your daughter has strong math skills.  Level of highest math studied and quant skills have a strong correlation with female salaries.
