<p>Hi,
I live in FL and got a 213 on the PSAT.
Although the cutoff for FL has been 215 for the past two years, the harsher writing this year curve has brought me to the 99th percentile(212+).
Furthermore, when I checked on the collegeboard quickstart for state percentiles, my math score was one percentile point higher in the state than in the nation (98 in state, 97 in nation).
Based on this, can anyone tell me if I have a shot at being a semifinalist?
Thanks</p>
<p>You have a shot, but it's highly unlikely. Cutoff scores rarely go down, and usually only one point when they do.</p>
