<p>New York is 219.</p>
<p>I just telephoned Evanston. Cutoff for Massachusetts is 223. CC was accurate. I am curious to see how accurate the CC list turns out to be.</p>
<p>What phone number are you guys calling?</p>
<p>The telephone number is 847-866-5100.</p>
<p>So, I just emailed our school guidance counselor and asked when the school would announce NMSF. He told me anytime in the month of September. What?! And he did not say yes, your D is one and congrats or anything like that. </p>
<p>Can someone please give me the deadline date for the information/essay to be received by the NM Corp? D will stress if she only has 2 weeks to complete everything.</p>
<p>NY is no longer in dispute.</p>
<hr>
<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>

These usually are set to be equal to the highest cut-off score among the individual states in the region.</p>

This usually is set to be equal to the highest cut-off score among all the individual states.</p>
<p>Commended (national cutoff) = 202 (Class of 2012 Notification Letters - College Confidential)
Any person with a score equal to or higher than this cutoff who is not a NMSF receives commended status. This group represents the highest 50,000 scorers.</p>
<p>West Virginia’s cutoff is 204</p>
<p>It’s Oct 12th. But you can do it in one night, really. The essay is really general. We had one that fit, so didn’t have to do a new one.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah…CONGRATULATIONS! Sorry your principal wasn’t excited for you.</p>
<p>Just called, PA cutoff is 215.</p>
<p>Just called and confirmed Ohio’s cutoff is 214. S is just 213-too bad!!
He got work hard on his SAT to advance up! Congrats on those who made to the NMS list.</p>
<p>I called…AZ cutoff is 213</p>
<p>go to this website to see names of semi-finalists in florida</p>

<p>Just called and DC is 223.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Then it’s highly likely that 223 is the highest cutoff for any state or boarding school.</p>
<p>I just called. The cutoff for Nevada is 209. Still wondering why this year we had record highs.</p>
<p>New England Boarding Schools - 223</p>
<p>North Carolina is 217.</p>
<p>I called and was told that Rhode Island is 213.</p>
<p>Something funny.</p>
<p>I called right at opening time and amazingly the girl who gives out the scores didn’t know today’s date.</p>
<p>I said “I’d like to get the cutoff score for Virginia”</p>
<p>She said “Sir, that information will be available when the press release goes out September 14”</p>
<p>I said, “Uh…yeah…that is today”.</p>
<p>She said “Oh, I’m sorry, I’ve been on vacation.”</p>
<p>LOL obviously the National Merit office wasn’t anticipating this day as much as we were.</p>
