<p>Sorry - </p>
<p>adding to my post above:</p>
<p>December, Year 1 - January, Year 2 - receive score</p>
<p>What is the lowest score you can get on the SAT and still make NMS finalist. My D is an NMS semifinalist. She has great high school GPA and activities, submitted the package on time, etc. But she got a 2130 total, 1400 CR/Math on the SAT. Will this be high enough in MN to move on to finalist? She still has time to retake the SAT in December.</p>
<p>That should be sufficient. The general feeling on these boards is that anything over 2000 is enough.</p>
<p>Ricket55, 2130 is definitely high enough.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what is the lowest gpa that will qualify for NM Finalist, if SAT scores are good?</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but that information is not disclosed by NM. Anecdotally, the consensus of the posters here on this subject is that a 3.5 (unweighted) or above is sufficient.</p>
