<p>Does anyone know what the national merit commendation level is for the class of 09? especially for Indiana, I think I heard either 205 or 215 but... idk?</p>
<p>the cut-off score for commendation is a nationally set index (usually around 200-203). </p>
<p>Semi finalist cut off scores go by state; and if you use the search function on this website and type in “National Merit State Cutoff Scores”, you should be able to see what the cut off for Indiana (and the other states) has been from the past years. However, no one knows yet what the official cut off for the ''09 competition is.</p>
<p>Indiana should be around 210 or slightly lower. California and New Jersey are about 220. </p>
<p>Well, at least I got commended. When do the papers come? It might decorate my room.</p>
