National Merit Scholarship Corporation

Colleges Don't Receive Scores
College Board does not send PSAT/NMSQT scores to colleges.
These scores are not intended to be part of college admission decisions. They should not be included on student transcripts that will be reproduced and sent to colleges unless the student (if 18 or older) or their parent/guardian has granted permission.
You're allowed to withhold scores from college admission and athletic offices, even when colleges ask for them.
