My question to you is what is your goal?
Do you intend to try to be a NM winner? Or, are you hoping for a full ride?
I don’t think they are going to change their policy because they do post information on the College Board website, so if you knew you were ill, you could have mentioned it to the proctor and they would have informed the school where you took it.
The 2330 is actually pretty good. Is this a posted score or a practice test? You’ll get merit aid with that score which beats the National Merit label any day.
So, here’s my advice: Forget about it.
My son was a national merit winner. He was offered full rides to schools in the midwest and south, which were not his ideal locations. We’re in southern Cal and he didn’t want to leave California.
He was offered half tuition at USC, which equated to about $20K. Since USC doesn’t offer room, board or the other half of tuition, the total amount we would have paid was an additional $40K which was not really a bargain for us.
He receives $2500 per year: That’s $1250 per semester. When you’re looking at $55K-60K in tuitions, it is a drop in the bucket.
Again, what’s your goal?
