<p>OP, in case you haven’t already done this, I suggest you do a quick check to confirm that SAT score is sufficient to qualify for Nat’l Merit Finalist (in the event his PSAT meets your state cut for NMSF–fingers crossed for him!). I think it’s AOK, but there is a 1960 threshold calculated a little “funny” – CR + M + Writing-multiple choice only, so run the numbers. See this thread for the scoop: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/1388865-clarification-needed-sat-score-advance-finalist-status.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/1388865-clarification-needed-sat-score-advance-finalist-status.html</a></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
