<p>So, are you asking about getting the one time 2500 award and being named a NMS?</p>
<p>I think that the SAT score is the big decider for that. What was this student’s SAT score?</p>
<p>I don’t think ECs and other awards come into play. My nephew was given a NMS one-time 2500, but he had a SAT 2400.</p>
