Does anyone know what criteria are used for determining the $2500 winners? Is it based on SAT score? My DS had a 36 ACT so he didn’t bother prepping for the SAT, knowing that the cutoff to make semifinalist would be well within his grasp. But I suspect that will bite him when it comes to non-college-based awards. (I think many of the corporations delegate selection back to NMSC as well.) Since he doesn’t seem likely to attend a college that will offer an award, one of those elusive $2500 awards would be a nice bonus.
