<p>TheJJ411, thanks for the heads up about USM. My kid is only a junior but his PSAT was well over our state’s semifinalist past cutoffs. In addition to all the perks you mentioned, USM also has a full tuition scholarship for NMSF. We are fairly confident he’ll make NMSF, less sure about NMF obviously (and his grades aren’t spectacular). </p>
<p>It offers his current choice of major too. Definitely on the list to visit now. If he likes it well enough, that could pan out into a good option that he could have somewhat in the bag early in the process. And he very much wants to study abroad so if he did make it all the way to finalist he’d love all those perks.</p>
