<p>I just wanted to chime in here and point out that NMF is not a magic-carpet ride to Ivy acceptances and $$$. Last year my daughter was NMF, had 2220 SATs (including 800CR) and came from a competitive and well-known high school. Results: denied by Northwestern and Vassar, and waitlisted at William and Mary. </p>
<p>She’s very very happy at her current college, one of her safeties, which is giving her a full-tuition scholarship.</p>
