NMS cutoff predictions for class of 2018

Just remember, every day that goes by w/no news increases the likelihood you’ll all hear something the next day.

What is the highest possible PSAT score? The SI format.

  1. New scale is max 760 rather than 800.

Thanks, @LOUKYDAD
2018 Son is sitting on a 219 in Oklahoma. I want to feel safe with this, but the ledge beckons.

I wonder how many students have a SI of 228. The highest I ever saw is 225.

You are in great shape. OK was 213 last year. Very rare for a state to increase 4 points, much less 7. I know what you mean though. Hard to relax until it is confirmed.

@prodesse, I know a girl at 226. Missed 2 or 3 questions on the whole test, D says.

@HeliMom74 I feel ya. D’s at 217, which should be safe here by every metric, but it will still be a huge relief when we find out for sure.

S knows of two 228s at his school.

I apologize if listing my boy’s score seemed tacky to anyone. I needed reassurance in the final nutty hours of this absurdly drawn-out process.

@HeliMom74 no worries here! this is a very appropriate place to post scores!

@JBStillFlying - I was reading your note of encouragement telling us all “Just remember, every day that goes by w/no news increases the likelihood you’ll all hear…” and my mind was thinking, is there some clever reason why it’s good news for us that things are delayed? And I had this positive feeling. For a split second. Until I realized you got me. Thanks for the laugh.

@P85047 - well, it’s what got me through this time last year LOL.

@DavidPuddy

Nope, and although I tried I can’t figure out what you are implying. I meant regional…without quotation marks.

Anyway, good luck to everyone, it seems incredibly stressful!!

I have a 226 - 760 reading and 740 math. Ironically I’m planning on engineering but always do a little better in reading on standardized tests. Also got a 36 on the ACT, didn’t study as much for the SAT (didn’t even want to take it!) but based on recent practice tests expecting 1550-1580. But, yeah, freaked out when I heard my PSAT score (I have a friend who works for the school district and told me a couple days early too!)

My S has same score as last years cutoff so not hopeful that he will make the cut. He subsequently scored a 34 on his ACT and I’m wondering if he still has an opportunity for a full ride scholarship with his ACT score assuming he doesn’t make the cut for NMSF. Any ideas?

@3scoutsmom thank you for that list Very helpful.

@DavidPuddy yes my apologies. I believe most schools offering NMF scholarships only cover housing of freshman year. If I am not mistaken and I may be…Ms State may actually give what I call a full ride. Thanks for the correction.

LOL are we at the same school? No one knows what it is here either. S1 was commended and not a peep from the school, so around February he went to his GC and asked if a certificate had ever come for him. Eventually he located it and handed it to S in the hallway one morning.

There are some that cover housing for four years, UCF, TT, UTD, UNM, UA Huntsville just off the top of my head.

Add Ole Miss and U of KY (historically, may be changing).
