Here’s an idea: After calling the college and getting confirmation that it’s this year’s PSAT, why doesn’t someone call the COLLEGE BOARD and ask them why they sold your percentile to a college rather than send it to you. When they deny it let them know that the college is saying “Oh yes you did” and then offer to get the college on the line to clear everything up.
That might speed things along nicely.
Let’s not create drama just because our scores are delayed.
The students all actually signed off on sending the Telluride Foundation their specific scores (not just percentage groupings) when they took the PSAT. It, as well as NMSQT and National Hispanic Recognition program, is listed by name on the CB PSAT website as organizations who receive scores unless you specifically opt out.
The scores have been released to colleges and scholarship programs before being sent to students for years. It definitely isn’t new this year.
Uh, @bsdsj22 apparently the scores are NOT delayed. Notification to the actual students is what is delayed.
i got the brown and tasp email but not the stanford one.
i don’t think its based on last year’s psat scores b/c i scored a 189 which is low af
this year though, im quite confident that i did significantly better (b/c i actually studied lol)
For parents who are freaking out because their child didn’t get the TASP email, they might have just not checked the box that signs them up for the Student Search Service. It doesn’t mean anything if they opted out of having their information sold to different colleges and organizations.
I got brown, stanford, Oxbridge, and RSI, but no tasp. I got a 214 last year, but it doesn’t sound like those scores have any effect. I’m pretty sure I checked all boxes relating to sharing scores.
What did you think I was talking about.
I scored around a 180 on last year’s PSAT so definitely not last year’s.
But they got other emails. It was basically what major you chose. TASP is humanities.
Did anybody get the Colby College email? XD I picked I think pre-law / polisci for my majors.
I was just poking around on the CB website and noticed that in 2016 they will be offering the PSAT on two Wednesdays and one Saturday:
“Next fall’s PSAT/NMSQT test day options are Wednesday, Oct. 19; Saturday, Oct. 22; and Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016. Ordering opens in April.”
@bsdsj22 I got the Colby College email. I also got Stanford and Brown ones, but no TASP
I’m betting if you got Colby College you didn’t meet the requirement for TASP
But strangely I did not get the Brown email.
@bsdsj22 Strangely though I picked STEM for my major.
Idk how this works.
Yeah it is confusing. But I live in Iowa so I still think I have a high chance of making NM
Does anyone know about who RSI sends stuff to?? I got a letter/email last week from them.
RSI is for students interested in science/research.
Basically you need top top PSAT scores / SAT scores to get in.
I got TASP and Colby College but no Stanford. Then again, I got the Brown one last year though…
@Chew97083 Honesly I think these organizations/colleges are picking random people from the Student Search Service who meet their standards send emails to them.
Not possible. These organizations want the cream of the crop.
@bsdsj22 Is that why Columbia and UChicago sent me emails my sophomore year when I only had a 189 PSAT score? o_O
