<p>ctl987…You’re exactly right. All these kids are winners, regardless of designation, and will be successful wherever their college process lands them. NM status definitely expands the pool of possible schools, but there are large $$ merit scholarships (automatic and competitive) that are within reach for all of them.</p>
<p>I always take exception to people who knock the NM program by saying these kids earned it by “only doing well on the PSAT”…like they’re some kind of one-trick pony. Our kids are so much more than a PSAT score, whichever side of a state cutoff score they happen to fall upon. Good Luck to your child in their college search. Wherever they end up…that school will be the better for it.</p>
