***Class of 2017 NMSF/NMF Qualifying Scores

Paying for College National Merit Aid
61

Long time lurker, but never registered or posted before. Live in MS, and my D was just told by her guidance counselor that she made NMSF with a 213.

62

I just posted on the other thread that the highest cutoff is >221. Confirmed via a GC. Art had said <= 223 last night so I guess that narrows the highest to 222-223. NJ/DC/Boarding schools in NE/students studying abroad.

63

NMSF in IN with a 218 via letter to GC

64

214 in AK per GC. #6265 other thread.

AR, not AK just don’t want people to be confused. It’s 214 in Arkansas!

67

Oops - sorry about that @arkiemom!

68

@Mamelot I think Art may have copied that info to the other board under AK instead of AR.

69

Adding SC at 215

Made it with 220 in Utah. Not helpful except to know results are trickling West…

71

@MS2017mom I’ll check it out and correct him if necessary - thanks!

72

@CA1543 check your above post 74 and 73 - i think confusion on “NM” and “MN” you might have picked up the wrong state from post #73

77

MN should read 216 < n <= 222

78

I think @CA1543 took @Mamelot “MN” and put it under “NM”??? that is what I was saying. Just double checkinig.

79

Also CA is 221. Confirmed per Art’s blog (comments)

80

@mamelot 221 and above???
