<p>No big news considering past cutoffs, but my son was notified today that he is a NMSF in Alabama with a 221.</p>
<p>update coming soon</p>
<p>National Achievement semi-finalist with 213 in NY (region 1 I believe)</p>
<p>are you saying someone made it with a 213 in NY?</p>
<p>Daughter just notified that 207 is semi finalist in Arkansas!</p>
<p>Pokemon, </p>
<p>213 was for National Achievement NOT National Merit. Different criteria.</p>
<p>updating with nailing down PA, and hearing from MO, TN, AL, AR, & NA in NY</p>

<p>Still getting over our disappointment at the cutoff being higher than the state cutoff. :’(</p>
<p>Oh man, if PA mom is correct, my daughter missed it at 214! oh well…</p>
<p>The 207 in Arkansas that qualifies as semi finalist was from the principal. Don’t know any other scores to help determine the cutoff. Sorry.</p>
<p>Per my son, his school announced the nmsf’s today. They were told that the cut off in Alabama is 211. Sadly, he missed it by a few. :/</p>
<p>He knows for a fact that his friend with a 211 is a semi finalist.</p>
