Before you put too many eggs in the NMSF/NMF basket, you should check your selection index. If you scored a 1480 on the NMSQT PSAT, that may not be enough to qualify in a competitive state like NY. The selection index in NY is usually around 220. The good news is that with or without NMSF status, you’d be a competitive applicant at many great meets full financial need schools. Definitely pursue the possibility of Questbridge. Good luck to you!
