<p>woohoo! got the letter from NMSC today in school saying that im either a commended student or a semifinalist in the competition (top 50,000/1.3 milion)..anyone have advice on choosing the two colleges you can be referred to? i know it wouldn't be really wise to send scores to top colleges because a high score on the psat doesn't impress them much.</p>
<p>I don't think it matters anywhere besides state/public colleges or colleges ranked sub-25 on US News Rankings - those are the colleges that will offer you scholarships and such</p>
<p>You can change your two schools of referal if you win the overall scholarship anyways, so it doesn't matter besides scholarship offers from tier-two schools</p>
