<p>Is recognition in these two programs by region? If YES, what are the regions AND which states are in each region?</p>

<p>This is from the College Board publication There are apparently four regions plus “other selection unit” which I think means overseas:</p>

<p>Connecticut, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia </p>

<p>Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan,
North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee,
West Virginia, and Wisconsin </p>

<p>Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and South Carolina</p>

<p>Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado,
Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Dakota, Texas, Utah,
Washington, and Wyoming 39,762 1,036 339 </p>

<p>Other Selection Units</p>

<p>If anyone knows the cutoff scores I sure would like to know them.</p>

<p>Number of total NASF is by region but the cutoffs are by state. NMSC doesn’t release them and there is no other way to know the pool is too small.</p>

<p>Yoskis, are you sure about this? I’ve seen regional cutoff scores somewhere for the Achievement Award. Has there been a change?</p>
