I’m going into my senior year in the fall. I live in Illinois and got a 219 on my PSAT so there’s a chance that I’ll be a NMSF. Should I wait to apply to colleges until after I find out or does it not matter?
What schools are you applying to before mid Sept?
You’ll know in Sept if you made NMSF. If you don’t have any “issues,” then you’ll make NMF the following February.
You can consider listing your score and perhaps say “national merit semifinalist anticipated”
