National Merit Commended....

Paying for College National Merit Aid

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I missed my state's cutoff by only a few points but made National Merit Commended. Is this something even worth putting on apps? My SAT score is much, much higher than my PSAT score, so I'm not sure if Commended will help or hurt my applications.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes absolutely - put it on your apps. It’s a nice honor, one awarded only to a certain percentage of juniors.</p>

<p>Yes, on common app put it in your academic honors and awards section.</p>
