Continuing the discussion from Class of 2023 National Merit discussion :
The National Merit Semifinalist Cutoffs Class of 2023 were announced for some states. Let’s update the list once new information is made available.
I made this a wiki post so anyone can edit and add to the list.
UPDATED 9:00p Central 8/5 from Compass FB page:
Alabama ≤ 213
<= indicates that the cutoff is equal to or lower than the given Selection Index

Isn’t the link slightly different? It is saying the score for a CERTAIN state can be NO HIGHER than X, rather than saying X is the cut-off score. In a few cases, it looks like there are indeed absolute cut-offs.
Am I reading the link incorrectly?

What’s what is meant by <=. That’s because in most cases someone has reported a score that did qualify but no one has yet reported a lower score that did not qualify. In a few cases they have which is when they use simply =.

Can’t seem to update the wiki, but updated numbers from Compass as of tonight (9/1):
Alabama <= 214
I would suggest just providing a link to Compass Prep, rather than cut and pasting what it says for the next few weeks.
Thanks, @mdpmdp ! I updated the original post.
@RichInPitt , I think it’s nice to have that info in the forums as well, so let’s please update the list with the new info. Thanks!

My kid just missed it
since they are taking the max over states, not the state.
