No NMSF Notification

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I received a 231 in NM/VT last year. However, I haven't heard anything about being a semifinalist. My school counselor hasn't received anything either.</p>

<p>Should I already have heard? What should I do?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Many students haven’t heard yet so don’t worry.</p>

<p>You and your school have till Oct 12 till get all the materials in for the next level, if you are a Semi-Finalist. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your school is supposed to tell you by Sept 14th. If you haven’t heard by that date, then go to your GC…go on that date if you want.</p>

<p>You need to make sure that some error wasn’t done, because that would need to get fixed.</p>

<p>Look at your PSAT score sheet…is there an asterisk by your score or not?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>NM/VT? If you moved, that could be why you haven’t heard anything.</p>

<p>oh, I missed the two state issue…</p>

<p>This student needs to contact NMCorp because his info may be at his old school.</p>

<p>

I am from Vermont, but go to boarding school in New Mexico.</p>

<p>

Okay, thanks.</p>

There was indeed an asterisk. However, last year I called and they said it had been an error and I would be considered for NMSF status.</p>

<p>Pretty sure the state you are included in is the one where your Boarding School is, btw.</p>

<p>Could someone tell me what the asterisk means? DD got 215 in Ohio and hasn’t been called to guidance/principal. Another student was called down today. DD doesn’t know what the other student’s score is. I am worried that the 214 reported for Ohio isn’t correct since it wouldn’t make sense for the principal to tell one student and not all of them.</p>

<p>linnylu, an asterisk means the student is not eligible for NMSF. My kids’ sophomore scores had asterisks; their junior year scores did not have them. If your child took the test as a junior and has an asterisk but should be eligible, he or she may have filled something out wrong on the answer sheet.</p>

<p>Call NMCorp to make sure that the asterisk problem was fixed. Usually the GC has to send something in as well. It’s not too late to get that fixed. Last year, a mom got her kid’s fixed in October.</p>

<p>My son’s score had an asterisk because he forgot to bubble in that he’s a full time student. The GC took care of that after scores came out. </p>

<p>Linny…does your child’s score have an asterisk? If so, call NMCorp as well.</p>
