I thought that I would create a discussion thread for the Class of 2027. Although NMFs will not be named for over a year, I wanted to start a thread since the first few rounds of PSAT scores have been released!

Compass Prep predicts lower quaifying scores for the Class of 2027. This is not surprising after the record highs in some states for the Class of 2026.

The article is up, but I cannot share a link.

Thanks for sharing - it was pretty easy to find with a quick search. I hope their predictions hold true! My S27’s score would just equal this year’s semifinalist cutoff, but this prediction would put him one over their projected cut off.

We are in the same boat. We’ve been researching schools offering scholarships to NMSF.
