I did do the PSAT twice and qualified for the National Merit Scholarship, but they’re not releasing the results until mid-May for who’s a finalist, so we’ll see.

Just an FYI, the National Merit Semifinalists for Class of 2025 won’t be announced until September. The finalists won’t be announced until early 2025 and the scholars in Spring 2025. Your 1490 PSAT may not qualify for NMSF in California, which has a higher cutoff than most states. So don’t put any of this on an application until it actually happens.

If it does, there are many schools that offer great scholarships for NMSF. None on your current list however, except for USC.

Good luck to you!
