2Many…the NMF designation does carry a lot of weight for college scholarship $$. My DD was a NMF. Basically, once you make it through the PSAT, unless you have a problem with your HS transcript (a C or lower grade will reduce your chances) or problems getting a recommendation from your HS (usually due to disciplinary problems), you will advance to finalist status. Just submit your application on time. You can change the school you list as your #1 choice multiple times on the NM website. Just be sure to check the final deadline to be sure the school you have listed on that date is correct.

We also did the “pick the best school you can attend with the least amount of expense” route. We put down multiple housing deposits across the country but got them all back when she made her final choice in April.

When your DD evaluates offers, make sure you look at what minimum GPA must be maintained. My DD chose TAMU because of their scholarships/engineering program. She has always sailed through school but was challenged by their honors freshman engineering program (suspect it had a lot to do with her busy social life!) and is now learning HOW to study. Just keep it in mind when looking at offers.

There are several threads on CC that list colleges offering full rides or close to FR $$. Check them out. Good luck!

PS On this thread because my youngest is definitely going to UK in 2018 if they’ll take her. She is OOS and was told that merit scholarships will be more competitive this admission cycle during her campus visit.
