NMF Results WITH STATS

Paying for College Financial Aid (Need-Based, Merit Aid, Loans)
1

<p>Hi. The other thread is cluttered and off topic (my fault, sorry!). I want to hear who is and isn’t getting NMF, to see what the standards are and how much more stringent they are than last years’. Just copy paste the below format and fill in your (child’s) info. Only count the grades that showed up on the transcript, NOT midterm grades or 6 weeks grades or stuff like that. Please refrain from posting unless you have a CONFIRMED decision. I don’t want to see anyone saying “Accepted” until they send the notices out. :p</p>

<p>Accepted, don’t feel like counting A’s; I received all A’s and 1 B freshman year. I don’t think this is based solely on grades, though. Rigor of curriculum, extracurriculars, and essays are more significant in my opinion.</p>

<p>Adding to abbyhooker’s comments, actual test scores, submitting SAT scores, school endorsement (incl parental input), citizenship, … lots of factors to consider in addition to the grade bins.</p>

<p>It’s not based solely on grades, but this thread originated from some discussion in another thread where people were wondering if NM was getting more strict on the number of Cs allowed for finalists. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Actually, according to a couple of recruiters I’ve talked to who are really knowledgable about the process, the only things that factor in are grades, qualifying SAT score (1960), having a passable essay and school recommendation. With 90% of semi-finalists moving on to finalist, it seems to me that NM isn’t really spending a lot of time analyzing rigor of curriculum, ECs, etc. I think those things possibly factor in to who gets the scholarships but not who moves on to finalist.</p>

<p>Accepted. School does not give GPA/rank. More Bs than As in sophomore year and junior year. No C.</p>

<p>Finalist status is definitely not based on grades, essay or extracurriculars.</p>

<p>My friend had like ~3 Cs, 8-10 Bs and the rest As, used a swear word in his essay (not that big of a deal, other than that the content of his essay was good) and doesn’t do any extracurricular activities. To demonstrate the last point, when he realized that we needed 15 out of committee hours to stay in NHS, he decided to quit. Although he did score a 2290 on the SAT.</p>
