<p>i have a few general questions:</p>
<p>1) What do you predict commended to be?</p>
<p>2) How much does National Merit really matter?</p>
<p>3) If I do well on the SAT, will colleges still give me scholarships?</p>
<p>4) Do commended students get scholarships from companies (examples)?</p>
<p>bump................................please reply.....need immediate answer as I won't be on the site for a while.</p>
<p>National Merit and high PSAT scores really don't matter too much for top of the top of the line colleges. For middle tier, or decent state schools you will get money for being National Merit Finalist.</p>
<p>If you want more info, I recommend this forum <a href="http://www.scholarholler.com%5B/url%5D">www.scholarholler.com</a>, there are some very smart college students there hanging out, waiting for high schoolers to come ask questions.</p>
