I am a parent making sure all the parts of application are completed.
Currently he is semifinalist and my understanding is that after he submits the application there will be process of finalist selection, as per the instruction this is what I see
HOW WILL SEMIFINALISTS KNOW IF THEY BECOME FINALISTS?
On February 6, 2023, NMSC will mail a Certificate of Merit for each Finalist to the Finalist’s high school principal.
But in my current application there is a place where I have to select a college, Here is my situation
We are doing EA to first choice college which does not gives him any scholarships. Only After EA results he can decide if he should consider second choice college which gives the scholarship.
The application has a place where he has to put a college name. If he puts first college who does not give scholarship at all then will he only be considered for 2500 cash prize ? What if he doesn’t get EA will I will be able to put second choice after becoming a finalist. By putting a college name in the application are we trying to say that is his first choice , can he change it once we see the EA Results ?
