Do you think I can be a National Merit Commended Scholar?

<p>With a 201 PSAT score in New Jersey? I know how close this is cutting it to the minimum...
thank you!</p>

<p>You are probably are commended. The commended cutoff is national (not by state) and is usually around 201.</p>

<p>Yes, you have a good chance. I don’t recall the last time the Commended cutoff was higher than a 201.</p>

<p>What was your national percentile?</p>

<p>Thank you Apoc314 and ACTTester!
And ilovemyblacklab, my percentile was 96… my friend who got a 203 was 97 percentile. I know it is the top 4.5% so as I said before, it is really cutting it close.</p>

<p>You’ll likely (though not certainly) be Commended. Semifinalist, however, is out of reach.</p>

<p>no i don’t think you will be</p>
