均成绩(0-16分) + SAT成绩(6-25分) + 国家荣誉学者决赛者(0-3分) +申请论文(-3-5

分) + 超级录取(40分) +红包项目:[父母(3～8分)+家住远处(3分)+教练征召(5-10分)+
极其特殊(3-5分)
这个虽然不一定精确，但大方向和传统的说法是差不多的。PSAT基本上没什么分量。

发帖数: 179 | 7 顺便说一下这个PSAT. 我们家孩子学习成绩中等。8年级时练习了一周SAT正确率就能达
到80%以上，很多还是粗心错。PSAT 难度要小于SAT，对于10年级的学生来说，估计难
度就在阅读上。这个荣誉名单我看是运气名单。Science, social study，外语都没有。

Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, Dr. Marlyn McGrath-Lewis '70-'73
said that Harvard has enrolled the highest number of Merit scholars for as
long as she can remember.
The high concentration of Merit Scholars at Harvard comes as no surprise to
many of its first-year recipients.
"I think it's reasonable that Harvard, being the best, would attract such a
high number of talented, high-caliber students," said Garrett B. Moritz '00,
a National Merit Scholar.

this process.
Of the 15,000 Finalists, about 8,000 receive Merit Scholarship awards.
There are also approximately 4,600 college-sponsored Merit Scholarship

发帖数: 6339 | 19 The PSAT, which is 2 hours and 10 minutes long, is essentially the sole
determinant of qualifying for any part of the National Merit Scholarship (
NMS) Program.
According to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, 1.5 million
students took the PSAT in 2014. 50,000 students, based on their scores alone
, are selected as qualified for further consideration. 35,000 will receive a
Letter of Commendation, but go no further.
16,000 will be selected as NMS Program Simi-finalists. Of these, 15,000 will
be named NMS Finalists. One-half of these - based on their PSAT/NMSQT score
, will receive a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship.
*** A Free College Education and More***
All that for a $2,500 scholarship when college tuition can be $50,000 per
year? What’s the point?
In today’s highly competitive world of higher education as a business, a
college’s national or regional ranking can make or break the long-term
survival of many colleges. Therefore, college and university administrators
are paying close attention to how their college and its competition are
ranked.
One of the most influential variables in a school’s ranking is the number
or percentage of NMS Semi-finalists and Finalists in the entering freshman
class.
The point is that there are currently at least 52 colleges and universities
that offer FULL tuition scholarships to NMS Finalist and many schools that
give partial scholarships up to half tuition for NMS Semi-Finalists,
according to a list compiled by a College Confidential initiative.
And these are not just desperate, no-name colleges with no reputation or
little excellence. They are schools like Texas A&M. And some offer far more
than full tuition.
For example, the University of Kentucky provides full tuition + fees + room
and board + $1,000 annual stipend + an iPad 2 + a $2,000 summer abroad
program. At the University of Southern California (USC), NMS Finalists who
are accepted and enroll automatically become prestigious USC Presidential
Scholars and 50 percent of their tuition is paid for by USC. | g******4
