That isn’t a bad sign at all.

The first contact was because your child made the initial cut-off (for Commended).

The schools don’t yet know which students have made NMSF. The schools do NOT get the actual PSAT scores, so even if schools knew what the various cut-offs are going to be, they wouldn’t know which students made those thresholds.

Right now, to Bama and OU, your child is just John Doe from State X who so far has made it past the first round of the competition. They don’t know his score.

Sometime in late July or early Aug, the colleges get the lists of who made NMSF. Again, they aren’t told the actual PSAT scores.

What is his PSAT score and what state are you in?
