Official National Merit Semifinalist Qualifying Score Thread for the Class of 2013

<p>I’ll try to post more information Tuesday…</p>

<p>Sorry for any mistakes… My memory is fuzzy. I literally glanced at the booklet for about 5 seconds…</p>

<p>I just want to make sure that my guidance counselor is okay with me posting the info. I don’t know how “confidential” that book is supposed to be.</p>

<p>One of the many NM mysteries is the book with cutoff scores to which Seriwe refers. I have seen mention of this book before–some counselors and administrators have it and many others seem completely unaware of its existence. Who has it and who doesn’t is seemingly undeterminable, as is, too, the confidentiality of the information in it. It would make life easier for us all if we could have about 10 minutes with that book…</p>

<p>How did you find out your score in NC? Thanks!</p>

<p>I saw the book (just the outside). I’d guess that all the counselors get it.</p>

<p>Was I the only one who received a booklet with the names of every semifinalist? Sorry I didn’t read the entire thread. But if anyone wants me to check if they’re in there, just send me a PM with your state, city, and school and I’ll tell you all the names of the students who qualified from that school.</p>

<p>Datnab - I question this post? Are you a guidance counselor? Only 2 posts?</p>

<p>It’s legit. What she/he sent me is real.</p>

<p>Datnab was kind enough to confirm that my son made it in California with a 220, for everyone who is still worried about the posts that seemed to contradict each other.</p>

<p>Datnab, did you receive my PM?</p>

<p>Datnab, I sent you a PM :slight_smile:
Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>213 made it in Illinois! Thanks for your help, Datnab:)</p>

<p>So if the CA cutoff 221 or 220?
This guy who “saw the booklet” doesn’t seem very credible considering he was dead set on 221 being CA cutoff, but as soon as he saw another user report NMSF status with a 220 in California, he replied with a contradiction…</p>

<p>Detnab ~ I sent you a PM! Thanks for any info you can give!</p>

<p>People make mistakes, stop whining about the CA cut off, please.</p>

<p>I do not know if it is the cutoff, but 221 qualifies in MA. Datnub is a credible source of information. Thank you!</p>

<p>i made it in new York with a 221 and one of my friends made it with a 217 so new York is less then or equal to 217 for its cutoff</p>

<p>215 qualifies in PA…</p>

<p>^ Raymond, are you absolutely sure? My good friend received a 215 on the PSAT and has been left wondering whether she’s going to be Commended or not for months.</p>

<p>211 makes it in Michigan. I do not know the state cut off number.</p>

<p>Ask Datnab for your good friend… who has posted today send directly as PM to confirm.</p>
