I got the letter for National Merit Scholarship first round. My score was a 213, and so I’m not too confident about making it into another round, as the competition is pretty tough.

My question is, what colleges should I send my scores to? It gives two free reports, but I’m at a point where narrowing down my college list is not something I foresee in the future. I looked over the list of schools that give out these scholarships, and most of the schools I am considering aren’t on there.

I’m thinking about sending it to UC Berkeley (I live right nearby, and its on that list). But the other college I’m not sure. Would it be beneficial to send it to say UPenn or Columbia even though they’re not on that list? Or should I send it to UCLA?

Thanks.
