Commended Chance? Thanks.

<p>is a 203 enough to be commended? i live in NY btw if that matters.</p>

<p>it doesnt matter what state. 203 is pretty close, i hope it is commended, cuz then id be...</p>

<p>the cut-off was 202 last year I believe, & its a consistent cutoff number across all states; although some state semifinalist cutoffs can move a couple of points at times, the commended cutoff represents the the whole population of test takers, so shouldn't change too radically year to year. So 203 is PROBABLY commended.</p>

<p>I agree - 203 SHOULD be enough for commended. It was 202 last year (and 201 and 200 the two previous years). You'll know in May - if you are at least commended you'll get a letter from NM asking you to name two schools to be notified of your interest/high scores.</p>

<p>what is commended? o_o</p>

<p>thanks a lot. i hope u guys are right..... i worked hard and i want to gain something out of this........</p>
