<p>i just got my letter on wednesday. 224, international :)</p>
<p>Still haven't gotten letter... 224 in WA.</p>
<p>Still haven't gotten one. We're on vacation this week though, so I may well get one tomorrow or some time later in the week.</p>
<p>201 got the letter???????</p>
<p>yesSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! i got 202!!
that mean i'm commended right?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>my friends w/ higher score got them at school so i was sooo scared
i'm not commended...........yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>You all are scaring me... I got a 218 in Ohio but no letter yet. I should get one soon right??</p>
<p>as long as you have a 200 you're commended. there's no need to worry. i have 206 and havent gotten the letter. it will vary depending on schools.</p>
<p>Thanks, that's good news. I just wish my school would hurry up!</p>
<p>do the letters come to your house or your school? cuz im in texas and i got a 207 and i still havent been notified.</p>
<p>i got mine today ;) there were 7 other high scorers at my school (out of class of 320)</p>
<p>Do the letters get sent to your home, or your school?</p>
<p>Got our letter from gc in Ohio, 218. I know son must take SAT in the fall of 09 to "verify" that score was not a fluke. So if he takes it and does better, does the better score take him on to Finalists or is PSAT the only one that counts? BTW, just got a 36 on ACT, thank you very much!!</p>
<p>The only test that counts toward National Merit is the PSAT. Congrats on the perfect ACT! If your future SAT scores are not as good as the ACT, you might want to consider sending only the ACT scores to the colleges you apply to if those schools will accept one or the other.</p>
<p>Received mine about a week ago. 215 in Florida.</p>

<p>Well, not actually true to get to finalist status. You have to show a comparable score on the SAT (whatever that means).</p>
<p>I was right.....the PSAT is the qualifier score. You take it again to go for finalist status and for the money. This is done to make sure PSAT scores are not just a great guesser's score.</p>
<p>Correct, the PSAT is the qualifier score. You then advance to semi-finalist status on a state-by-state basis- each state will have a minimum score that represents a certain percentage of their top scorers. Once you are a designated semi-finalist, there is a whole long list of requirements to advance to finalist status. The link below might be helpful. </p>
<p>For goodness sake...my friend (and academic rival) scores a 210 or something and gets his letter today...while my 226 has had no return as of yet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you two attending the same school?</p>
<p>No big surprise here... my D2 hasn't received her letter from school, either. This is the same school that had no idea they were supposed to give students their PSAT score reports.</p>
<p>What a bunch of incompetent idiots - and these are the same people who are responsible for submitting transcripts and recommendations for college applications. The students have to babysit them every step of the way, or risk problems with missing application materials and/or deadlines... High school can't be over soon enough for our family! UGGHH!!!</p>
<p>206 in Tennessee, got letter today.</p>
<p>231 in NY and still I got no reply.</p>
