<p>Does anyone know exactly how the Nat'l Merit scholarships work? For example, if someone got a score of 214 on the PSAT, would they have a good chance at being a semifinalist? or would they probably just be 'commended'? What are the cut-offs?</p>

<p>It varies from state to state. If you are a semifinalist, you should hear from your school shortly.</p>

<p>since you seem to be from michigan, you should make semifinalist. i'm pretty sure the michigan cutoff was 211.</p>

<p>Yes, this year the cut-off for NMSF in Michigan is 211, up from 210 last year. So you will be a NMSF.</p>
