<p>Also, and someone correct me here if I'm wrong, but I don't think which colleges you put down matter at all--at this point--though I agree that you should put schools that actually recognize NM. But no need to alert schools of your NM status, as they will all find out anyway. All that mail that starts flooding in stems directly from your high PSAT score. As long as you did not check that box (when you took the test, I believe) that says not to send out that score--it (seemingly) goes everywhere. Also, when my daughter decided not to go to UChicago, she wrote to NM, requesting a change from that-- her 1st choice school-- to the school she ultimately decided to attend. That school then awarded her a NM scholarship. And she actually had until April 20 this year to make that change. So, just pick 2 schools you think you wouldn't mind attending and that recognize NM. You can always change your mind and let the NM people know.</p>
