<p>Go onto the College Board, College Navigator or College Data websites and punch in your scores or look by individual college to compare your stats to theirs. (most will show you where the middle 50% of the admits scored) To improve your chances, look for schools where you scores are in the top 25%. If you have a DREAM school, but are not at the tippy top…don’t be discouraged because NO ONE can really figure what goes on in the minds of the admission people. Remember that your essays and teacher recommendations are also VERY important.</p>

<p>Will you be a NMF? What is your home state? What can your parents afford?</p>

<p>And what is NMF?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You look like a strong applicant. Have you taken the SAT?</p>

<p>NMF = National Merit Finalist. It would open up a host of schools with scholarships.</p>
