I could use some help from any parent (or student) that has info that could help me understand the NMF selection process. My son scored a 221 on his PSAT last fall and he took the SAT (2130) this past spring. I know that the SAT score has to substantiate the PSAT score, but to what degree? His math and reading scores were nearly identical (M 80/790, R 70/700) but his writing scores were off a bit (W 70/640).

Thoughts regarding if this SAT score is good enough or should he retake in the fall? BTW, the last cutoff for NMF in our state was 210.

Thanks in advance.
