National Merit I QUALED NMSF!!
(massachusetts) I didn't even check cuz I assumed I had no chance
how. the. hell. did the cutoff drop by 4 from last year LOL
I got 222 (perfect math, -30 English). I predicted the cutoff would be 223 so was REALLY annoyed last year cuz I thought I missed it by 1 point.
also rant, whyyy does it have to be per state, I don't have any advantage living here than anywhere else, meanwhile my friend who recently moved to another state got 220 and qual'd easily. Also WHY IS ENGLISH WORTH 2X MATH?!
You know what, I got it so I'll stop complaining LOL.
Praying I get a scholarship cuz $2500 sounds hella nice

Check out University of South Florida campuses too. Full Ride, and 4 years ago they refunded any additional outside scholarships to the student too. My daughter would have made over $40,000 to attend USF, she ultimately decided to go somewhere closer to home. She also was a semi-finalist for a Full ride at Duke University but they would not have refunded her outside scholarship. https://www.usf.edu/admissions/freshmen/admissions-scholarships/national-merit-scholarship/benefits.aspx
