<p>Hello everyone. I am a student in Louisiana and I just wanted to ask about the cutoff for national merit. I got a 209 and I am in the top 2 percent in the nation but I was wondering if that means I’ll get National Merit. I know that the scores come out next September but since Lousiana is one of the lowest scoring states and I’m in the top 2 percent, does that pretty much mean I got it? Thanks for taking your time to read and reply.</p>
