International students and Psat?

<p>I know that international students CANNOT particpate in National Merit Scholarships (PSAT) selection process.</p>

<p>But i would like to if an international student can get college scholarship offers from colleges if he or she gets a PSAT score of (lets say) 230? </p>

<p>I'm asking this question because some semifinalists get scholarship offfers even though they didn't make it to the Finalists status.</p>

<p>If you impress a college with your PSAT score (or anything academic) you can get a merit-based scholarship (from the ones that do grant merit-based awards to internationals). It depends on the school you are applying to.</p>

<p>There is no reason whatsoever for you to waste your time, effort, and money on the PSAT. In your case, that exam is meaningless. Take the SAT and/or ACT. The colleges and universities are looking for results of those two exams for international students.</p>

<p>If I understand correctly, only students selected as semi-finalists (or finalists?) get to send PSAT score reports at all. Colleges would never even know that you took the PSAT.</p>
