<p>And I’ve heard that disabilities can be hooks and I have epilepsy. I don’t know if that helps anything or if I should include it on my app.</p>

<p>200 is not a high enough PSAT score for any recognition.
I’m only going to estimate for schools I know about.
-Swarthmore- reach
-William and Mary- match
-NYU- high match
-Bryn Mawr- low reach
-Kenyon- reach
-Wesleyan- low reach
-Brown- high reach
-Brandeis- high match/ low reach</p>

<p>Your stats, SAT’s specifically, are not high enough for honors colleges/ merit aid at pretty much all of these schools.</p>

<p>^Well a few years ago, 200 was commended cut-off. Last year it was 201 so saying that I could possibly get recognition is not outlandish.
And do you mean honors colleges/merit aid for the schools you chanced me for or for my whole list of schools?</p>

5

<p>Ah, I forgot there are different cutoffs for different states. I’m from a state with one of the highest cutoffs which is why I scored higher than you but received no recognition. I meant for the whole list. Generally from what I’ve seen students need to score upwards of 2150/2200 to get selected for honors colleges/ significant merit aid.</p>
