<p>Does anyone think it's possible for this year's semi-finalist indices to be higher than last year's?</p>
<p>I think it increases from year to year as there are more test takers.</p>
<p>27 states went up last year, so yes, especially since we already know that the national Commended cutoff went up from 202 last year to 203 this year.</p>
<p>But not long to wait:
Monday.... 8/21/06 NMSC mailed Semifinalist notifications to school principals
Wedneday 8/21/06 NMSC press release names Semifinalists
Monday.... 9/18/06 NMSC mails Commendation notifications to principals</p>

especially post #202, for the last few years of cutoffs and NMSC official schedule.</p>
<p>I go to a Northeast boarding school as a day student. I just got my score for the 2007 PSAT</p>
<p>I got a 233. Am I pretty much set for national merit SF?</p>
<p>80 reading 99%
73 math 98%
80 writing 99%</p>
<p>I haven't seen the cutoff for northeast boarding schools in quite a while, but I would think that a 233 should get you Semifinalist status. Unfortunately, you won't know for sure until late next August. But congratulations on a fine score, and be sure to take the SAT to qualify for finalist.</p>
<p>even in the competitive Northeast states, 233 is pretty much guaranteed for NM semi finalist. congrats!</p>
<p>Yea, congrats a 233 is definitely a guarantee for NMSF</p>
<p>The highest cutoff I've ever seen for any state is 225.</p>
