austindad, if you're in Texas (guessing from the Austin in the name) she'll probably qualify. I think the cutoff last year was 191.

I'm a Jr. in California didn't identify himself as Hispanic in the PSAT test and scored 192 and gpa of 4.3 wt. Is it too late to notify NHRP or qualify anything?

Ya also contacted by my GC about 3 weeks ago. Had a 198 in Texas. Those full scholarship rides are looking real tempting  | |

It means you're a NHRP finalist and your name will be distributed to participating colleges:
"Mid-September of senior year: NHRP provides counselors with the names of the students selected for the list and distributes award certificates to counselors for student recognition. NHRP also sends out formal award letters congratulating you on your recognition.
October of senior year: NHRP distributes the list of students to subscribing colleges and universities."
So, expect lots of mail and take a look at the threads on the OP and see if there are any colleges that offer merit aid for NHRP that appeal to you. Congrats!

My guess would be UW, as schools weight differently and some not at all. You'd have to give NHRP a call to find out for sure.

Do they just use your gpa for junior year or your cumulative gpa? I had a really tough year because I had mono and took 4 aps and one advanced honors. My cumulative UW gpa is a 3.8 but my weighted is a 4.7...
