Could Someone Clarify NMS Selection Process?

The SAT scores do NOT have to be higher than the PSAT scores. My son’s scores were lower–and he’d taken the SATs BEFORE he took the PSAT–again, he still became a finalist. Oh, and he had no senior year grades, either, because he’d gone to college and his grades were P/F. They really just want the paperwork.

<p>Same here (with the exception of P/F part. She had to send her college transcript though (the grades were lower than the HS grades…), and fill out the paperwork, including an essay, and the HS had to do their part of the paperwork. She got the NMCS scholarship, so I guess they liked her enough despite all that.</p>
