<p>Hey. I just was told that I’ve been qualified for National Merit, but I won’t find out until August whether I’m a Finalist or Commended. Anyways, I am debating whether or not I should use that score report choice and send my score to two colleges. I * would * send it out to Duke for sure and then either Harvard or Penn, but I don’t know if I should.</p>
<p>You see, although my score is good enough for National Merit, it’s still a pretty weak score (209). I feel like sending this out may actually * hurt * my chances with these schools because it’s on the lower end of qualification. Anyways, should I send my score to these schools or schools on my list with lower prestige (i.e. Iowa/Michigan)?</p>
<p>Advice is appreciated. Thanks.</p>
