<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am new to college confidential. I got my scores back today and I am a junior in NJ (Class of 2014). My scores were this:</p>
<p>CR-63
M-76
W-64
Total- 203</p>
<p>I am REALLY stressing out whether or not I got a letter for commended. Any hope based on this? Any scholarship opportunities? Don't be afraid to share your scores below too!</p>
<p>Yeah, I think you have a pretty good chance at commended. The cutoff last year was 200 and the year before it was 202. I don’t think that it has ever been above 203.</p>
<p>will a 212 make it in florida?</p>
<p>The cutoff for commended is national, so therefore you made it. But as far as merit, Florida fluctuates between 210-215 so I would keep my hopes up and pray that its the same as last year’s, which was 211.</p>
<p>I am nervous about my chances for getting commended… would you guys say that it is possible to get commended for being in the 96th percentile, but only having a score of 197?</p>
<p>InvisibleMatter, I was in the 96th as well, but right under 200 and would like to know the same thing.</p>
<p>I hate living in Maryland. I got a 215 (I should’ve studied…oh well). In most states this would qualify for semifinalist but in Maryland it has to be like a 221-223 cutoff are you serious</p>
<p>Invisible- I believe its the 96th onwards for commended, but I probably know as much as you do on this.
Rodney- It depends on your score as well because top 50,000 is about 3.3% . Therefore, you must be in the top range of the 96-ers.
Awesome- I feel you bro. The cutoff in NJ is the same and my friend had the same score.</p>
<p>does being a commended student still look good on apps? it make me so mad because I took my SAT a month later and got a 2340 without studying…how do you go from a 215 to a 2340…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on how good the rest of your app is. If you’re a star student, it probably doesn’t make a difference. It’ll never hurt, though.</p>
<p>202 -_____-</p>
<p>A 203 will make commended.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! Anyways… can someone answer my plea on my other thread? Its titled 2040 to 2200+ by January. Just search violinmaniac101… should come up. Thanks!</p>
<p>I know what you mean…I got a 212 here in Virginia. Virginia’s cutoff is pretty high (like Maryland) because of the schools near DC. I live next to the West VA border and it is a very different side of VA, but unfortunately the whole state is under the same cutoff. :(</p>
<p>Got a 234 down here in AL. My school’s soo competitive though :/</p>
<p>Hey people from Florida, anyone’s Psat score get released in Hillsborough County?? I havent gotten mine, and I took mine in October.</p>
<p>^ It is only available in October anyway.</p>
<p>NMSC just told me cutoff for class of 2014 is 203.</p>
<p>We are expecting the letter this week.</p>
<p>My daughter’s principal called today to say she made it, score of 206 in NJ.</p>
