<p>As I have been mentioning in other posts, this notification is only to inform two schools that you are interested in them and nothing more. Some schools may use this information to send you material, others may do nothing. It does not matter even if you do not send it (my S did not).</p>
<p>It will not affect anything else going forward. You may choose not to apply to those two colleges when application time comes or have another choice that is higher on the list. So no worries at all. Just send it and be done. When you get to NMSF, that is when you have some work to do.</p>
<p>The cut off scores do not vary much from year to year (I have never seen it vary more than +/- 2 points from year to year and usually is is the same or +/-1 point). So based on the score and your state you would have a very good idea if your child will make it.</p>
