Does anyone know what the NMSC selection index cutoff has been in prior years to be commended student (not semifinalist)? Any guesses for this year? I’ve been having trouble locating this information anywhere. Thanks!
@dogwood18 You will find a lot more discussion about National Merit here: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/
Google the blog “Compass Prep”. The guy has been analyzing this for years and provides tons of info and charts with Commended and National Merit by state.
The last few years have been 209, 211, 212, 212, 212.
212 is probably the best estimate, in lieu of further information.
