My son studying in 11th grade received his PSAT scores and they are as follows.
Critical Reading 64,
Mathematics 70
Writing skills 58.
Total selection Index 192 out of 240
Percentile is 94.
What are the chances of him being eligible for any kind of financial aid while applying for his college? He wants to go for Medicine. Is this score considered a good score? I would appreciate if some one experienced in this area can let me know.
Thanks
Ram

These scores are above average for those taking the test and more likely to be around average for kids actually attending a four year college. He isn't likely to be eligible for an academic scholarship.
Good Luck!!!

These scores are a bit better than average, but not enough better to nake him enough of a standout to get an academic scholarship.
If you look at the "Merit Scholars" websites on line yuo can find out how these prestigious awards work, but even the Merit Scholarships are not very much money.
The most important factor in getting a scholarship is his GPA in the AP courses he takes in high school. THat is where the scholarships for academic excellence are decided.

They are good scores.
He will get financial aid. Now, financial aid is given pretty freely, especially by the ivy leagues to middle-income families. He'll be well off.
