Congratulations on your son’s great PSAT and SAT scores. If the last cutoff for NMF was 210, he should definitely make it this year. So prepare to write an essay!

For most colleges, a score of 2180 is excellent. But I would encourage your son to retake the SAT, unless he needs to take SATIIs and has no room for a retake. He has nothing to lose, except a long Saturday. His scores of 790 in math will keep, and he can boost his other scores, especially the 640. He should try to figure out what he did right and what he did wrong (use the Xiggi method) and take it from there.
