<p>You can feel free to edit the list yourself. Or simply post your information and rely on others to edit it in.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If you have been notified that you are NMSF, post your score (and your state) if it is lower than the score already posted for your state. It will then become the lowest known qualifying score and be indicated as “<=”.</p></li>
<li><p>If you have reliable knowledge of what the qualifying score for your state is (try asking whoever notifies you!), post it here, too. It will become the definitive cut-off score for your state indicated by “=”.</p></li>
<li><p>Finally, if you know that you did not qualify and had a reasonably high score, it can also be useful to post your score as an example of the highest non-qualifying score. This can be indicated by “>=” </p></li>

<p>Please note: Be conscientious as you post scores on this thread–it would be crushing to be led to believe you have made the cutoff by a post but actually haven’t.

<p>There is nothing in the school’s letter that indicates the state cutoff…sorry guys</p>
<p>I just received notification from my son’s principal that he made it in NY with a 219. The school indicated they only received the names of the students that made semi-finalist list, they did not know the cutoff score</p>

<p>OK=210 (school principal). Rules out my son and several friends. But good to finally know. I think that’s the highest cutoff Oklahoma has ever had (209 the previous high).</p>
<p>218 in Texas didn’t make it.</p>
<p>Ohio’s cutoff is equal to 215 per National Merit mailing to school per the school counselor.</p>
<p>OhDad^ - according to others, the letter does not contain cutoff. How did counselor explain cutoff at at 215? Could be his/her guess?</p>
<p>horsehockeymom, you have made us so happy!!! :)</p>
<p>Let me double check as obviously I’m not reading the letter direct, but that was what I understood. Please consider my earlier post tentative then as I certainly do not want to mislead.</p>
<p>Bad news for us. Per school’s principal, my son was not a semu-finalist in Kansas with a 215. The principal told me the cutoff was 216, the highest ever.</p>
<p>Confirmed in second conversation … Ohio is 215. This is not a home school letter, but is information contained in the school’s package received in the mail. I’m not sure how it is actually presented as I have not seen it personally.</p>
<p>update coming, I’m working on it</p>
<p>Cutoff in Oklahoma is 210 per principal.</p>
<p>Confirming that KS cutoff is 216 per school principal. (S made it w/217, but a lot of disappointed students. This is a 4 point jump from last year. Highest cutoff ever and biggest jump ever for KS.)</p>
<p>Any news on Cali? My school is tight lipped about it </p>
