What score do you need on the PSAT to get the NMS and how much will getting it boost your application? It is really difficult to get?
You’re missing a few steps.
First, each state has its own cutoff score on the PSAT for making NMSF.
Then, if you become a NMSF, then you do the paperwork, take the SAT, send transcript to NMCorp to make NMFinalist.
If you make NMF and receive an official NM scholarship, then you become a National Merit Scholar
