NE Boarding Schools NMS

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone knows what the typical cut-off to be a National Merit Semi-Finalist is if you attend a New England boarding school...</p>

<p>I've heard it mentioned a few times on this site, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the cut-off has been in the past.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>NMS cutoffs are done by state. Try this:

<p>I thought that I saw other places on this site that the New England Boarding Schools have their own extra cut-off?</p>

<p>Correct - there is a different cutoff for boarding schools by region. I haven't seen them listed in a while, but I believe the cutoff is over 220.</p>

<p>It is usually 222 or higher. New England boarding schools have some of the smartest students in America.</p>
