@intparent I understand that they don’t care about the PSAT, I am trying to get the national merit scholarship because my overall application is on the weak side of EC’s. I have band which I have spent a lot of time with and I’m also working on an NHD project which I think will definitely get to the Maryland State level ( I live on the eastern shore with no competition, and I have a very interesting project so far), but other than that I don’t have anything else important because I have to work at my dad’s shop 20 hours a week to help out my family. So you see I’m doing this out of necessity.
