I live in GA but I go to school at a private school in TN
which state would the cutoff be applied to me???
i would rather have GA cus their cutoff was 3 points lesser than TN in 2004</p>
<p>bump
neone know which state i would be considered for??</p>
<p>That's a good question. Since, if you make semi-finalist, and then finalist, and perhaps on from there...some of the later awards are based on your grades, essays, etc., not simply on the initial score. And since all those scores seem to go to the schools first, too, I would think that your cutoff would be applied in TN, where you attend school. That just seems logical to me, but I would contact the PSAT offices, either by email or phone, to check. Just 'google' them. Your school counselor would probably know the answer, too. The cutoff varies (somewhat) from year to year, anyway. Hope that helps.</p>
