Wait, who told him about this? I was a NMS finalist (which is as far as you can get on test scores alone) but no one mentioned to me why I didn't get further.

- KingMachiavelli 7y agoThe NMS has different PSAT score requirements by state.
- sp332 7y agoYes, but check your sibling comment. I had a high enough score but that's not the only requirement. And no one gave a specific reason I wasn't chosen, I just got a form letter saying none of the sponsors picked me.
- throwaway66920 7y agoGetting a scholarship past finalist status is kind of subjective and dumb. 2/3 of them (scholarships) are from corporate sponsors. Meaning you get them if you’re a finalist and your parent works at a sponsor org. The money is small either way, but you can leverage the finalist title hard at some schools. I, somehow, got a full tuition ride for that stupid test. My school stopped offering that much a year later but I’m sure there are others that still do.
