<p>Anyone NMSF catch this thread in the SAT/ACT forum?</p>
<p>I was banking on the fact that since I'm NMSF with a good SAT and GPA that becoming a finalist was a sure thing. Now.. I'm actually a little bit nervous that a handful of CCers have been rejected (one with a 2350; another with a 2360). What's your take on this?</p>
<p>Not having USC's presidential scholarship for NMFs would make going there nearly unthinkable for me.</p>
<p>i saw it, and i gotta admit, i was scared like hell</p>
<p>but then i thought it over, and decided that there must have been logical reasons for those people getting rejected :)</p>
<p>plus, some of my friends got the letter already (for rejection) a while ago, so im starting to think that im safe...that helped me a bit too.</p>
<p>They must tighten up this year. The year my daughter applied I heard nobody was rejected.</p>
<p>Hopefully they aren't arbitrarily rejecting people with decent GPAs in the name of tightening up their standards.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you anotherasian1234. Hopefully we both get finalist/additional scholarship consideration from USC.</p>
