I got a 213 on my PSAT... Do any colleges give automatic admission for National Merit SemiFinalists???

Question

i have a low GPA but my PSAT and ACT scores are above average. Will that mean anything?

Answer 1

No. I was a national merit scholar, I had a 33 ACT, and I was waitlisted at most worthwhile places, with a 2.95 weighted GPA. You still have to apply, and in your case you should apply to many places, and do so early.

Answer 2

Not any more. If you had gotten a 240, then maybe, but in the long run you'll need a true SAT rather than the psat. I'd work on your GPA...it should be above 3.5 at least, and the closer to 4.0 the better.

Answer 3

Colleges don't care at all what you get on the PSAT, only on the SAT. And whenever a school sees high SAT scores and low grades, they assume you are a slacker (you're capable of getting the good grades, you just don't bother) and are less likely to accept you - they want to accept student who will succeed!

Answer 4

It'll probably look good on your college application, but, GPA's the most important thing college looks at it shows whether your a diligent or dedicated student. AP classes are a plus and so are transferable college courses.hope that helps

Answer 5

That list mentioned above is for last year's test. It will take until September to get the new info, but it doesn't change more that a few points each year . Congrats on the great score!

Answer 6

gpa is usually something very much needed. but you can always hope your scores can pass you by

Answer 7
