Commended Status

<p>I highly doubt it.</p>

<p>In all the years following the NMSQT stuff, I think I’ve only seen one rather unknown school offer something to commended. </p>

<p>The schools that you just listed probably have a whole bunch of Commended students in Computer Science since Commended status is for about a 202 PSAT. </p>

<p>What were your D’s ACT or SAT scores? If those are very high, then maybe some of those schools will give merit for those. Purdue gives about $10k for high test scores. UIUC is awful with merit. GT gives some highly competitive merit and the awards are unpredictable. Has your D been named a semi-finalist for any GT awards?</p>
