<p>Tokenadult,
I think we had this conversation about what constituted a qualifying confirming SAT score on a previous thread a few months back.</p>

<p>Here are the regulations for the 2007 finalists (last year):

<p>Their qualifying SAT score had to be taken between October 2004 (beginning of their sophomore year) and December 2006 (midway through their senior year). For kids who will be announced as semifianlists this fall, the qualifying SAT would therefore be between Oct. 05 (fall of soph year) and Dec. 2007 (midway through senior year).</p>

<p>It appears the GC in this case is CORRECT. Extraordinary freshman year scores will not serve as confirmation for NMSF.</p>
