<p>In Arizona, we had a University of Arizona representative come talk to interested students. The representative asked my guidance counselor if we had any Semi-Finalists. The GC whispered that we have 1, and then she looked at me. In December 2010, when we got our scores, she talked to me saying that I was the highest score in the school and all that stuff. So I’m guessing it’s me (215) but I haven’t been called to her office yet.</p>
<p>Word is, Idaho is 211.</p>
<p>REALLY??? I got 210 for Idaho… 
Are you sure?</p>
<p>Wheathead, Colorado here. My senior got notice today of semifinalist status with a score of 223. Hope you get good news soon too.</p>
<p>^^That’s what I heard from a kid who was notified but cannot confirm positivity.</p>
<p>thanks for the update, COlooking. does your kid know of anybody else who made semifinalist with a lower score?</p>
<p>any news from Oregon yet? I had a bad testing day and was only 3 points above last years cut off.</p>
<p>Wheathead, sorry, no, the group of qualifiers at our high school didn’t talk scores with each other, surprisingly.</p>
<p>My daughter’s was higher, but the cutoff is 220 and up.
There were 2 asterisks next to the 220 on the master list of all CT scores which I believe means 220 and above are NMSF. Also confirmed by GC.</p>
<p>ivyhopeful94, we’re in the same boat, 3 points above last years. COLooking, it’s alright, thanks anyway.</p>
<p>Oops sorry Wheathead, I replied to your question, but now I see you were actually asking “COlooking”, I’m “collooker”… how weird is that?</p>
<p>collooker, it’s alright. were you referring to the connecticut cutoff in your last post, because it seemed as if you were talking about colorado?</p>
<p>I knew I 100% passed the cutoff line when I saw my score :)</p>
<p>Yes Connecticut (CT)… sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>I’ll post ID, but would prefer to get more direct information.</p>

<p>PLEASE DON’T FREAK OUT! Check the explanation of the notation in the first post. When you see, for instance, AZ <= 219, that means that Arizona’s cutoff is no higher than 219. This comes from a report like, “I live in Arizona, made a 219, and got my letter.” When you see, for instance, TX > 216, that means that Texas’ cutoff is higher than 216. This comes from a report like, “I live in Texas, made a 216, and didn’t make it.”</p>
