PSAT Scores for National Merit Semifinalists 2009 (H.S. Class of 2010)

<p>^^ Thanks - very useful thread.</p>

<p>hmm, no letter, should i be worried?</p>

<p>As long as you scored 201+, you should be fine.</p>

<p>I received my letter today :slight_smile: Positive I’ll only get commended though. If only I hadn’t bombed the writing . . . [sigh]</p>

<p>"hmm, no letter, should i be worried? "</p>

<p>Not yet: Some schools take their time in delivering the notifications. I know a school that will be delivering the letters in May. Wait couple of weeks or ask your GC. Best wishes!</p>

<p>Knowing my school, it’ll be ages before they give it out. And I am a very impatient person.</p>

<p>I got my letter today too. I got a 215 and im from PA</p>

<p>lol, i was talking to my counselor about something irrelevant to this today, and he just mentioned in passing that in like a week hell distribute letters lol. so some schools do distribute them later.</p>

<p>I got my letter, i’m 210 and in MO</p>

<p>My son received his letter. 221 in TX</p>

<p>DS get his. Texas. 204, I think.</p>

<p>Just Monday I asked the GC about it, and he had no idea what I was talking about. Magically appears on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Any updates on what you think the nationwide Commended score cut-off is? I got a 204 – is that enough?</p>

<p>I think the cut off is 201 or more. I received a 200 and everyone from my school has received their letters.</p>

<p>Why is there such a big discrepancy among when the letters are released?</p>

<p>Mail doesn’t travel to all parts of the country on the same day, and schools don’t handle mail internally with the same urgency.</p>

<p>204 made it. I’m thinking the cutoff this year is 201, based on what I’ve read here. So, congrats, jacob!</p>

<p>Yeah the cutoff is 201, it says on the letter.</p>

<p>I got 201 :D</p>

<p>Doubt I’ll make it any further, unless VA standards are pretty low.</p>

<p>I do not see that cutoff listed on my daughter’s letter. Either,</p>

<p>1) It is there and I’m overlooking it. My daughter got 2 pieces of paper: one is the letter that begins “Dear student” and the other is the CPRS form to choose 2 schools. -OR-</p>

<p>2) Your guidance office gave you another piece of paper/information that contained the information that was specifically for the guidance office. </p>

<p>Can you shed more light, Paved88?</p>

<p>I got a 200 on the psat. Is there a chance I will get commended?</p>

<p>The 201 cut off score was in the letter to the scohool administrator. Our principal gave D both her letter and his.</p>
