<p>*Would you recommend the same advice for an out of stater applying to a large state school that a lower qualifying score? Will the school already know–for example son scored 221 in VA, above minimums for cut-off in Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma all which offer great packages if he advances to finalist, but he will be competing with in-staters with lower scores. This is not a criticism on these states or their students since we support him wanting to expand his horizons and go out of state, just curious. I would think it won’t matter, since Finalist is a Finalist, just want to be sure.

<p>If the school awards a NMF scholarship to all that apply, then why would it matter? </p>
<p>And if there were a selection process, likely the SAT or ACT score will make the difference…NOT the PSAT score.</p>
