<p>Does anyone know when these will be available for the various states, for students who took the test last year as a junior. Parent here.</p>
<p>Semifinalists will begin to receive notification (through their school) the end of this month. For whatever reason, NM does not publicly publish the cutoff list. In past years, we have compiled the list based on posted reports (we have also been able to call NM, who will give cutoff scores for individual states over the phone).</p>
<p>They don't actually publish the cut off scores. Usually a bunch of students on CC will start a thread listing if they made NMSF and what their score and state was so that eventually they get a list of the approximate cut offs by state. The list for last year is here

<p>The cut offs may be above or below last years but it gives you an idea.</p>
<p>My thanks to the two posters. I appreciate your taking the time to post, and this is helpful information.</p>
<p>I was notified by my administration today. I'm not sure where you live but if it happens to be Illinois then 214 is in.</p>
