<p>I live in NY, and i got a decent 218 on the 2008 psat. any chance for national merit semifinalist? and what's this national hispanic scholar stuff i hear? possibility? thanks :]</p>
<p>if you search, there is a thread with a list of states and their recent national merit cut-offs</p>
<p>The semifinalist cutoff for current NY seniors is 216, but the cutoff the year before was 219. You're on the border, so there's a chance for national merit.</p>
