<p>Where have the NMF's from your school gone?</p>
<p>UF...they get lots of money</p>
<p>The NM Scholars are going to Princeton and Harvard.
I don't know who out of the NMSFs are Finalists, but I know that, of the semi-finalists....
2 to NYU
1 to Lafayette
1 to Brown
1 to Vassar
1 to Wharton</p>
<p>and I don't remember the other semi-finalists. I know Brown, Vassar, and Lafayette were also finalists, though.</p>
<p>Nationwide, the top 10 universities attracting National Merit Scholarship winners followed by the number of recruited/enrolled scholars:</p>

<li>Princeton University -- 192</li>
<li>University of Southern California -- 183</li>
<li>University of Oklahoma-- 170</li>
</ol>
<p>what year was that for? Also, i think the number of national achievement scholars is high for harvard as well.</p>
<p>Out of the 12 at my daughter's school who are NMF, they will be attending Princeton, Rice, Carleton, Southwestern, Texas, Missouri, and I don't know where else.</p>
<p>most at my school's students attended state university with almost full scholarship</p>
<p>The NMFs from my town generally pick state schools that offer a full ride: Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Oklahoma, Tulsa. </p>
<p>Others chose colleges that offer limited scholarships: Dartmouth, Harvard, UT-Austin's Plan II Honors, Princeton, and Rice.</p>
<p>I think there was like two at my school</p>
<p>one is going to U of Mich</p>
<p>and the other got a half ride to Wash at St. Louis</p>
<p>There were 7 at my son's school:
Sewanee
Texas A & M
Rice (ED)
Rice (another ED)
Virginia (Jefferson Scholar)
LSU
Southwestern (Texas)</p>

<p>For our year, we had three NMF's who are going to:
Davidson, Stevens, and NCState
and out three commended students are going to:
Duke, Tufts, and CCM</p>
<p>the NMF at my school is going to Duke</p>
<p>The only three I know of:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
U Miami
UT Austin</p>
<p>This is a suburban Texan high school known for sending high achievers to UT.</p>
<p>from my school, they usually go to:</p>
<p>Tulane
Yale
Prineton
Harvard
Swathmore
Dartmouth
Penn
UNC-Chapel Hill
Vanderbilt
LSU</p>
<p>Rice. </p>
<p>Rice has just about the largest percentage of the class being NMF's. Not sure if it is the absolute highest though. They come here due to the generous merit aid.</p>
<p>stanford, wharton, various uc's, northwestern, caltech</p>
<p>this year's NMF from my school is going to MSU</p>
<p>how big of a draw is NMF? because I will probably qualify (I got a 220 in ohio). I see that only 16% of the freshman class at chicago (where I'd like to go) are NMF. Is it something they really consider?</p>
<p>a little bump</p>
