Thanks @websensation. We were hoping for NMSF too, but he will fall a little short. NMSF would not have done as much for him (son wasn’t planning on applying to any NMF full ride schools) but my son just wanted that designation. Sometimes, I think his score was partially about taking the right test on the right day and he was prepared. Now that my son has basically nailed down his list of schools and they are mostly safeties based on his stats, the 35C is just a luxury number will look good when determining merit aid. But he may have gotten full ride offers from some of his schools on his list with a 30 ACT. But I am hopeful that the good score will help while applying to some great summer programs…
