<p>The website says that if you recieved a letter from NMSC giving you the score report option, that means that you are one of 50,000 high scorers. In September, they will designate 34,000 commended students and 16,000 Semi-Finalists, and send a letter to you. In February, they pick 13,000 Finalists, and then about 8,000 winners.</p>
