Is NMSF worthless with 36 ACT?

It’s naive to forgo the NMF opportunity. While an ACT 36 is super, take SAT and go for NMF. Being a NMF follows you. In fact, when my son’s first internship found out that he was NMF, they instantly raised his salary by $3 an hour.

And there can be larger scholarships for NMF that aren’t available even with a 36.

@jake071999 You’ve recently asked about aid and your divorced parents. The schools that give the best need based aid require BOTH parents’ info. They use CSS Profile.

So, if your parents can’t/won’t pay (and many divorced parents can’t/won’t), you may find that you’ll need a large NMF award to pay for college, especially since you’re premed.
