<p>This has come up on the SAT boards - some are claiming there is a semifinalist cutoff for boarding school students. I have never heard of anything other than state cutoffs at the semifinalist level, but I don't have any children in boarding school. I thought the state cutoffs applied, but I was unsure if they were considered by home state cutoff or boarding school state cutoff. Anyone have any answers?</p>
<p>It's by the state the boarding school is in, not by the home state.</p>
