Does anyone in here have an idea of what score I would need to make national merit semi-finalist in North Carolina?
<p>usually 200+, 210 is competetive enough for national.</p>

<p>i don't think collegeboard/states release that info though? i could be wrong</p>
<p>all the finalists in class of 2006 that i know of got at least 205... 195 might be able to get you into semi-final.</p>
<p>What do you think that 232 will get me?</p>
<p>If your score is 200 or above you will at least be commended. Semi-finalists vary from state to state. The cutoff scores for semi-finalists run from the lower 200s up to as high at 222. Most states cutoff scores are in the lower teens.</p>
<p>If you are at a boarding school your stats are not from a state but from the geographic region.....ie NE Boarding Schools.</p>
<p>If you're over 220, you're pretty much guaranteed to be a NMSF. If you're in the 210-220 range, there's still a chance depending on your state.</p>
<p>I didn't know boarding schools had a seperate stat pool, being at a public school I can't say that's true or false but it's something to keep in mind if true.</p>
