<p>my88, you’re on the edge, like mine is, but in another state… At least u 2 are on the upper edge. but I too am anxious and have an idea where you’re coming from. I’m putting my kid’s chances at around 60 percent so without looking at at the Texas scores in more depth, that’s the best I can help u. if you saw my note at 10:10 today, I indicated how i looked at scores in our state.</p>
<p>Anyone have any opinions on a 215 in Ohio after looking at the state summaries? Last year’s cutoff was 212, year before was 214 (highest ever). The most the cutoff has gone up in a year in the past six years is 2 points. </p>
<p>The waiting is awful. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Lglmom…S has a 216 in Ohio and so I’m not sure he is safe either…couldn’t agree more about the waiting!</p>
<p>The waiting is awful!!!</p>
<p>We’re waiting with a 215 in Oklahoma. The highest it’s been that I’ve been able to view was in 2010 (209). There are quite a few more people in the 75-80 range than in previous years, though. I agree wholeheartedly with all the previous posts about the waiting. Do you think it’s likely the cutoff will be above 215 in Oklahoma?</p>
<p>phil, no, that woudl be 6 point raise. highly unlikely. U or ur kid should be good</p>
<p>I got a 220 in Texas (highest ever was 219). Am I out of the running?</p>
<p>CTL987,</p>
<p>That’s what I was thinking but I’ll feel better in September. Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>Totally understood Phil. our scores are even closer(yikes) making kiddo even CLOSER to the cut so we too wish we had the results NOW. Forget this waiting to September stuff we are being tantalized with… the good news for us is that one of the schools on their list offers good merit aid on GPA and test scores so they are on track for that even without NM status. the bad news is that school will still be around 20,000 a year with merit aid and one of the full ride NM schools looks like an awesome choice for the kid(we still have to visit) so even though 20,000 is a bargain and we are VERY grateful to have that option, 5 to 10 thousand a year is an even better bargain. We shall see…</p>
<p>NotReallyTexan, you should relax. It looks highly unlikely that the cutoff in Texas will be above 220. The cutoff will almost certainly be at least 218 and probably at least 219, but the scores are not that much higher than two years ago to justify a prediction of over 220.</p>
<p>Thank you austinareadad. That significantly helps my peace of mind. I was starting to get really worried.</p>
<p>mathmomvt, NMSC does try to award scholarships in a way that maximizes distribution. With perfect scores and everything else in place, our kid was eligible for the $2500 award, but also for a larger corporate-sponsored NM award. NMSC gave the larger corporate award; in fact said they distribute those first to spread all of the scholarship awards among the largest possible group of recipients. You could call and ask. I think in the end they go by the PSAT scores with first preference for the larger scholarships given to higher scorers.</p>
<p>220 in CT, highest it’s ever been was a 220, last year 218. Significant jumps. I think I’m gonna miss it by a point :(</p>
<p>I’ve got a 217 in Colorado. For the past five years the cutoff has been about 212 with the highest ever being 215. Do you think I’m in the clear? The reason I’m asking is because I heard the commended cutoff was 203, the highest it’s ever been. So I’m worries the Colorado cutoff will be significantly high too.</p>
<p>Castleknight, I’d be very surprised if you did not make it if you’re 2 points above the highest ever cutoff. Good luck!</p>
<p>Now I need the scholarship money more than ever, considering how bad I did on my AP exams.</p>
<p>Wait…so is 203 the commended cutoff…because if it is, I should be one…but I haven’t got anything about it.</p>
<p>nobody did kennedy, now they send notice to ur school but no individual notices to the high scorers anymore.</p>
<p>Is there any way to check your scores if you don’t have the original sheet sent to your high school, such as online?</p>
<p>@platypiggirl: you can check your scores by going to collegeboard.org/quickstart Just log in and you should see your scores</p>
