Hello,

I just received some excellent news from my guidance counselor: PSAT scores are in!
In my state, NM is usually anywhere from 211-217.
I was fortunate enough to receive a 221 (CR 800, W 730, Math 670). Everyone has told me I made National Merit.
My counselor told me that she got a full ride to Harvard before senior year even started with her NM score. However,I do not really understand what NM means, or how to use it to my advantage to get schools to want me.
