Like Rob said -- the semi-finalists were based solely on PSAT scores. The finalists had more stuff (SAT scores, grades, recommendation I think -- I know my guidance counselor wrote them something about me). My best friend was a semi-finalist but not a finalist because his PSAT score met the cut-off but his SAT score wasn't high enough. Things like that.
I think that the NM program is -- thank god -- based mostly on stuff your guidance counselors put together for you rather than stuff you had to put together yourself. Which was a relief considering all the other scholarship and college applications that had to get done.
