<p>aaroncp1an0: Semifinalist notification goes exclusively through the schools.</p>
<p>School gets it, unless you are homeschooled.</p>
<p>Has anyone else from CA received confirmation?</p>
<p>Well, still haven’t heard since child’s school is not yet in session, but if 219 made it in NY, then I guess child’s 220 made it in NY as well! Thanks for all this information.
Proud mom and dad.</p>
<p>Still haven’t heard anything in WA. D got 225, so sure she is IN, but few of her friends on borderline ~218, last year’s cutoff.</p>
<p>WA last year’s cut-off = 217.</p>

<p>Commended (national cutoff) = 201.</p>
<p>No Wisconsin sightings? Anybody know what the cutoff is?</p>
<p>sjegl1, what school in NY is your child from? Where do you live? We are from NY and haven’t heard yet. My son got a 220.</p>
<p>My son is waiting in NY with a 218, so close! I guess if he is to miss it, it will only be by one point!!</p>
<p>So embarrassing…</p>
<p>RickUW, my school in WI is being annoying and we get our packets either tomorrow (Friday) or on Tuesday (because of Labor Day). I got a 216 so I’m fairly certain I’ll get it, but good luck to you! If they tell us the cutoff I’ll be sure to post it.</p>
<p>I got mine :)</p>
<p>Got one in North Carolina - 214</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m sitting right on the cut off :o.</p>
<p>The space for affixing the essay is a little over 5.5 inches long… width of regular sheet of paper. Does anyone know what non-glare tape is… will I find it at any store?</p>
<p>(remember it was size 10 font)</p>
<p>most tape these days is non-glare. It’s the stuff with a matte rather than glossy surface. It may be called “invisible” or “scotch magic” or something. You probably have some in your house :)</p>
<p>Oh, wait, so just regular clear scotch tape doesn’t count at “non-glare”? Scotland, don’t fail me now.</p>
<p>Most scotch tape these days is the “scotch magic” kind that is “non-glare”. Is it shiny? If not it’s fine. They want to be able to photocopy the page without the tape interfering, presumably</p>
<p>My son is 216 as well. Our High School (Madison West) said they don’t have the scores yet… i bet they do!</p>
<p>Update on Hawai’i cutoff asked my GC and he said it’s 215.</p>
