<p>How much does it help you in college admissions if you become a semifinalist, and eventually receive the scholarship? Also, are senior course workloads more important than junior courseloads for admissions?</p>
<p>What everyone tells me is that NMSF doesn’t help you to gain admission to top tier schools. However, there are a number of reasonably good universities who will not only give admission but also full ride. Earlier today I came across a posting here on CC where someone had listed these schools. Some of the most notable ones were: Texas A&M, Washington State, University of Idaho, Central Florida (?) …</p>
<p>TSultan is mostly right. The schools listed, for the most part, offer full tuition scholarships, not full rides. That info is on a thread in the financial aid forum posted by Keilexandra.</p>
