<p>^ OP, MenloparkMom quoted that “Juniors need a high selectivity index score in the 99 percentile range. Not all students in the 99 percentile range will be National Merit Semifinalists. Each state has a different cut off for the selection of National Merit
Semifinalists”. - MenloparkMom is correct. The cut off scores are differ from each state, AND, each year. That’s why you have to wait to know your state cut off score for your class.</p>
