PSAT/National Merit boarding school pool

<p>You need to spring for a celebratory dinner out for that score Mainer95 - nice one!</p>

<p>Thank you, all. I’m sure there’s some luck involved with “educated guesses” too, but he’s a great kid.</p>

<p>I’m a boarding student in Ohio. I received a 216 score on my PSAT. Can someone please tell me the cutoff scores for 2013 ? I can’t seem to find any info on boarding school cutoff scores ! Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>The main CC board has a lot of info on the PSAT scores and cut-offs, but they don’t usually have much info on the boarding school region scores. I’ve seen scores posted for the New England region schools, but rarely any good info for other regions.</p>

<p>I suggest you talk to someone in the College Counseling office at your school - they will have the information you need.</p>

<p>I know that the threshold score for New England Boarding schools is arrived at by using the highest threshold assigned to any New England state, usually Massachusetts. However, I don’t know whether there might be any region formally defined that includes Ohio.</p>

<p>Some posters are announcing today that they are receiving their PSAT scores. </p>

<p>Here are NMSF cutoff scores for the previous 5 years. </p>

<p>Oh, the OPost was from 2012. For a second I thought Exie was back.
Sigh…</p>

<p>@milliee, answer to your D.C. question is in post #7</p>

<p>Hey, fun to see my old thread here! MY son got his scores back today and he should be named a NMSF! I’m so happy for him.</p>

<p>That’s great Rellielou. My kid would have been a SF in our home state, but did not meet the BS cut off. Doesn’t seem to affect anything admissions wise, just interesting to note…</p>

<p>By the way, you can determine the BS cut-off for your region by looking at the highest cutoff for the states in that region. In New England, that’s generally Massachusetts.</p>

<p>Congrats, Rellielou! :)</p>

<p>Congratulations Rellielou!</p>

<p>I am feeling very relieved. Will pass along congrats to ds!</p>

<p>Milliee, DC has a very well developed private school system that compensates for the under performing DC public schools. Most of these private school kids commute into DC from MD and Virginia.</p>

<p>@firstgen, D.C. kids gets lumped together in a selection pool w kids from other places.</p>
