<p>this link didn't work for me!!</p>
<p>Wow, lots of two and three point jumps. Also lots of cutoffs dropped.</p>
<p>jesus, i got shafted, 217 in NY :(</p>
<p>can anyone confirm the accuracy of the aforementioned website...i.e., can you confirm that the reported number for your individual state is correct...?</p>
<p>****. I missed the cutoff by 1 question. "To evoke a state of mind". I will remember that question I second guessed myself on. Oh well. I have had many successes in life. This is just one of those failures that strengthens me. I won't even accept being commended. This really sucks.</p>
<p>Yea, I'm kinda surprised that they would have a chart like this already...</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>And holy crap... VA had a 7 point jump from last year... Wow...</p>
<p>Looks like VT & VA's 2005 PSAT score/# semi/# Commended data are switched in the table.
So VA's score went up only by 1 pt in 2006.</p>
<p>what scores on the sat are generally needed to "validate your psat scores"</p>
<p>to whoever wanted michigan's cutoff:
I'm not exactly sure, but I got a 211 and I made semi-finalist and I believe I was the lowest qualifying score in the school, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>the illinois cutoff is correct on that list.</p>
<p>17 semifinalists in my public school class of 700...i was really surprised to when that many people showed up this morning...</p>
<p>My school hasn't notified us, but today I got an e-mail from Texas A&M inviting me to apply for scholarships because I am a National Merit Semifinalist. How do the universities know already?</p>
<p>The list of winners has not been made public yet. The aggies however, are on the ball. Monday when they figured out the cutoff,they paid for a cutoff + run from the College Board. Stay away from bonfires.</p>
<p>^ Didn't comprehend.</p>

<p>????????</p>
<p>A&M traditionally lit some BIG bonfires during the week before their grudge game with the U of Texas. We're talking massive piles of wood (60 feet or so high). A dozen or so students were killed a few years back during the stacking of the logs when the wood shifted (IIRC).</p>
<p>HI's NMSF cut-off is 114 this year & was 116 last year, as the article reports. I believe the number of NMSF is also correct--it was in the 70s & my kids' HS has 34 of them.</p>

<p>Do you mean 214?</p>
<p>"My school hasn't notified us, but today I got an e-mail from Texas A&M inviting me to apply for scholarships because I am a National Merit Semifinalist. How do the universities know already?"</p>
<p>I don't know for sure, but when I visited the University of Oklahoma, the counselor there was VERY reassuring abut my chances for semi...(this was in mid August), and said she'd be shocked if I didn't make it etc, which was weird because while I did make it, I was right on the cutoff.</p>
<p>So basically I think colleges might know before the true 'public' does.</p>
<p>But maybe not.</p>
<p>Whoops--thanks for catching my goof. It is 214 this year, down from 216 last year for HI. Obviously, I'm not proofreading!</p>
