<p>i got a 202 on my PSAT this year as a junior in october and got 96th percentile...it said i qualified for the competition or whatever. i've also heard that 96th percentile was the cutoff...
and also, what is all this receiving letters at the school? it says on the score report i won't actually officially know anything until september...
i'm feeling very confused.</p>
<p>I had a 203 with a 96th percentile, so I've been wondering about it too.</p>
<p>If you are commended you should be contacted....before? Because I had to fill out this thingy where I sent my PSAT scores to 2 colleges....?</p>
<p>yeah i got a letter in school like 3 weeks ago and may 17th was the deadline to send it to two colleges</p>
<p>um no. 97% is the cutoff. and i think that's a 205.
and yeah if you are commended... you should have been contacted like 3 weeks ago.</p>
<p>I think it might depend on the state. I'm from NY and got a 203, I got a commendation already.</p>
<p>a 202/203 is almost ALWAYs commended; it doesn't depend on the state.</p>
<p>Hmm, I did better than 203 and I never got a commendation?</p>
<p>To be commended, you have to be a citizen or a resident, I think. If you are this, check with your school counselor.</p>
<p>What about a 198. I got that I think it was 95%</p>
<p>it was 202/203 this year, so 198 wouldn't have made it.</p>
<p>No, I don't think that's high enough.</p>
<p>haha its funny how the cutoff for commended this year was the same as the cutoff for national merit semi-finalist for mississippi.</p>
<p>i got a 201 :(</p>
<p>i got a 202 and the cutoff this year was 203. so sunnex you got left by one point just like me :( maybe we could grieve together</p>
<p>where did you guys get these cutoffs?
Anyone have a link?</p>
