<p>Hi, today at school we received our PSAT/NMSQT scores. I received a 227 and I live in NJ. Now, I know that the top scorers in the state either become commended students or semifinalists. I did some research and it says that the NJ cutoff is 221. Is that for commended students cutoff or semfinalists cutoff? Will I be a semifinalist? Thank you for your help.</p>
<p>Are you a junior?</p>
<p>For 2012 high school graduates, the cut-off was 223 for the states with the highest cut-off. You should be good re: semifinalist.</p>
<p>You, my friend, are very lucky. Still waiting for our scores here in lovely old AL. <em>frown</em></p>
<p>Great score BTW. 227 is hard to come by. Here that would warrant ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED NMSF status.</p>
<p>Thanks. Good Luck to you</p>
