<p>The PSAT is coming up soon and I haven't studied anything besides the daily SAT questions. I'd like to study for it and do very well in order to get the national merit scholarship, but I have FAR too much homework and never find any time in the day to do so. What should I do in a case like this? Is the scholarship really a big factor in the college admissions process?</p>
<p>NMSF status isn't a big deal unless the college you want to go to offers scholarships for it. If none of your prospective colleges participate in the program, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Keeping up your grades is more important.</p>
<p>i wish i had the same worries that you have</p>
