<p>Thank you so much for the information. It is really helping me to get a better understanding of the system. I’ve read quite a bit about it, but I think I can only absorb so much at a time. :-)</p>
<p>You said:</p>
<p>…There are some OOS publics that will give large merit scholarship for high stats or being a NMF. If your D does have high stats, apply to a couple of these as back-ups.</p>
<p>Do you think she’ll have the test scores to be competitive for MIT…and GPA?..</p>
<p>um…what is an NMF? To answer your question; She seems on track to have a good GPA and test scores. She is in the I.B. program (Well, pre-IB right now) right now with all A’s so far…time will tell. I think I had always thought of schools like MIT as unattainable for us ‘regular’ people, but I don’t want to discourage her if it might actually be attainable, and don’t want her to have false hopes if we just won’t be able to afford it. :/</p>
