<p>have you heard anything with your 221?</p>
<p>updating with GA & CA</p>
<p>Please use this template that explains the symbols below for each state </p>
<p>See the stickied FAQ thread in this forum for links to lists of previous scores.</p>
<p>After the press-release date in mid-September, qualifying scores will be available by phone from the NMSC. Here is the number to call–the receptionist will give you one “qualifying score” when asked.</p>
<p>National Merit Scholarship Corporation
1560 Sherman Avenue
Suite 200
Evanston, Illinois 60201-4897
Main Telephone: (847) 866-5100
Main Fax: (847) 866-5113</p>
<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>
</ul>
<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. But everyone should be tolerant of mistakes, too. This is an unofficial source of information derived from a collaborative process and is not, therefore, guaranteed.</p>

Any person with a score equal to or higher than this cutoff who is not a NMSF receives commended status. This group represents the highest 50,000 scorers. </p>

<p>Outstanding participants(National)=?</p>
<p>CPADAD, we are also in NY, and DD has a 221, but no official word yet. But with today being the 1st day of school, I didn’t really expect it. Hopefully soon.</p>
<p>^ Per Post #684, a score of 219 is a NMSF in NY. Not the cutoff (AFAIK) but 219 and up works :)</p>
<p>Just wanted to add, our HC GC felt strongly the cutoff in GA is 220, but she couldn’t confirm for sure. Seems high for GA.</p>
<p>Yeah, that would be a +6 (+2 all time record)… Let’s get some more input</p>
<p>I saw the 219 post but was seeking an additional confirmation.</p>
<p>Did your guidance counselor say why she thought it was 220? Got a 219 so hoping she was mistaken</p>
<p>I scored 211 in New Mexico. What are my chances?</p>
<p>lol i got a 218 so i also hope she was mistaken
but i get the official word tomorrow regardless im pretty sure</p>
<p>Anxiously waiting for more input on the Georgia cutoff. Has anyone else heard from their school?</p>
<p>Hello Georgiapsat</p>
<p>Of the six that got in from our HS, 220 was the lowest score. The GC was not specific on the highest score rejected. We have about 150 kids total who all take the PSAT.</p>
<p>Thanks arwarw! And bobdylansmith if you find out tomorrow will you let us know? thanks</p>
<p>Yes. I will</p>
<p>Anyone know ANYTHING from New Mexico? I’m currently praying that the cutoff didn’t jump too high… my score (211) put me at the 99th percentile, but I wanna know if I officially made it…</p>
<p>^ I’m from New Mexico too and I haven’t heard anything yet. I got a 210, so I’m really hoping that the cutoff doesn’t jump like it seems to have elsewhere.</p>
<p>Tennessee is a 212. Counselor said my friend with a 211 missed it by one point.</p>
<p>Going back to the discussion on Georgia, it should be noted that +3 is the maximum increase it has had.</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm that TN is indeed 212? It seems a bit low. I was expecting a 3-4 point increase, not a 2 point jump.</p>
<p>I saw one post (#705) for WA. Did anyone else from WA get any news?</p>
