<p>The NMSC exact decision making process is a bit mysterious as regards grades, though everyone seems to concur that so long as you have no C’s you’re fine. More than 2 C’s/lower grades likely kills your chances. One or two, it’s uncertain these days. You may be just fine. You should go ahead and apply to places you might get the NMF scholarships. I know Texas A&M has extra money for engineering students on top of the NMF scholarship…</p>
