<p>Do the PSAT socores influence college admissions ?</p>
<p>Unless you get NMF, colleges will never know anything about your PSAT. And even then they won't see the score.</p>
<p>Is there a point to NMF? If you made it as NMF and then you got, say, 2240 on the SAT and someone else lucked out the first time and then got 2240 on the SAT then what's the point of NMF?</p>
<p>The good thing about NMF is the potential for scholarship money. My S has been getting amazing offers - albeit from state schools - if he lists them as his first choice school and makes NMF.</p>
<p>So, I think it is worth taking the PSAT. But beyond the scholarship program, those scores don't matter.</p>
