<p>What's the lowest score you've seen someone become a semifinalist with? (What state, if you know)</p>

<p>The link is old, but the numbers mentioned are about the same. Also, I believe it’s done by region instead of by state. I’m also posting the NHRP scores below because from talking to friends last year, the cutoffs are very similar …</p>
<p>2011 National Hispanic Recognition Program Cutoff Scores
New England 184
Mid Atlantic 184
South 193
Southwest 182
Midwest 193
West 184</p>
<p>I wouldn’t use the NH numbers as a guideline. </p>
<p>Doesn’t anyone have last year’s cutoffs?</p>
