vaporeon · August 29, 2012, 6:43pm

made it with 232 in CA! though i expect that the cutoff is lower than that haha.

Descartesz · August 29, 2012, 6:46pm

Thanks, vaporeon! At least we know you’re out there.

Seriwe · August 29, 2012, 6:58pm

Got semifinalist with a 215 in Colorado today. I believe the next highest score at my school was a 210, but they did not receive semifinalist status… So the cutoff in Colorado is at least a 211.

Lanayru · August 29, 2012, 7:03pm

yay deductive reasoning more GA people should post…

ahsmuoh · August 29, 2012, 7:03pm

Was a 212 your score or is that the cutoff ? Do you know?

Cheers Descartesz for starting this thread too!

pistachiosauce · August 29, 2012, 7:34pm

ahsmuoh, the 212 was my score. not sure if that’s the cutoff.

jennieling · August 29, 2012, 8:06pm

My son made NMSF with a 213 in MO. Also, the GC told me that the MO cutoff is 211, so congrats to 212 in MO and family! This site has been SO helpful! Thanks to Descartesz, Clapuma, Perazziman, and good luck to you all.

Emc2Fma · August 29, 2012, 8:20pm

Even though I know MD has already been posted, I got the letter with a 221!

SchoolAndSwim · August 29, 2012, 8:27pm
