<p>^Right…just a “happy coincidence”. Lord do I get tired of people knocking NMSF/NMF/NMS status like it’s some kind of fluke based solely on the PSAT. NMFs must also have high GPAs, a high SAT score to confirm their PSAT, excellent recommendations from their school, and no discipline issues. Pretty much everything that every high performing student at their school has…PLUS they performed extremely well on the PSAT. ABSOLUTELY NOT a “happy coincidence” or a “positive side effect”…it’s a product of long-term, high level CONSISTENT performance in every aspect of their high school years. While it may not matter to “top tier” schools, the recognition of NMF status that many excellent school do offer allows these students to get a fantastic education that their families could otherwise not afford. Please try to inform yourself a little better before posting.</p>
