National Merit? Notifications??

<p>^ I wonder what that range was...</p>

<p>Is the letter going to come from gc or nm? If gc, it could be a while...</p>

<p>I believe this letter is mailed directly to the student.</p>

<p>Has anybody received their letter?</p>

<p>Last year, the letters were mailed to the principal at our high school, and he called the students to his office and gave them to them en masse. </p>

<p>My daughter got the letter from Yale and she's a sophomore (our district pays for sophs to take the psat.)</p>

<p>my D got hers mailed to our house....she was commended...</p>

<p>I received mine today from my counselor</p>

<p>So last year, were the letters mailed home in NY?</p>

<p>I thought they came through the school. Citygirlsmom, is she home schooled?
Let's try to figure out the cut off for the class of 2009. If you got a letter, post your PSAT score, please!</p>

<p>i got a 200, wasn't very pleased but it was atleast enough for commendation apparently. So I guess the cutoff has either stayed the same or lowered since last year.</p>

<p>lol ooh, i thought we are notified in like september. i'll look out for my letter then or something. is this something to be excited about?:P</p>

<p>wait have ppl gotten letters already?</p>

<p>yes, you receive in april letting you know that you are one of the top 50,000 high scorers, but they don't let you know whether you made semi finalist or not until september</p>

<p>I'm hoping my 206 (98th percentile), makes me a semifinalist. According to my calculations, the top 1.86% of scorers will become semifinalists, placing me right on the edge. It just depends on whether my 98% was rounded down or up.</p>

<p>My son received his letter today from the school counselor. His score was 216 in Georgia.</p>

<p>i got the same score as you gelatin. what state do you live in? each state has a cut off for semifinalist, my state's is like 224 so im not even close for my state :(</p>

<p>I got a 220 (in MA so I highly doubt I will qualify for NMSF, just one stupid math mistake...) and I haven't gotten a letter yet and I should be Commended...</p>

<p>Woo hoo on the 200 making it! DS has 201 and no hope of semi (esp. in CA), but I was hoping he'd make the commended cut.</p>

<p>If anyone scored 200 or less and received the letter, please post your score.</p>

<p>No news in Illinois today.</p>
