<p>I got a 228 PSAT (80M, 80CR, 68W). Is this enough to guarantee me semifinalist in NH?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah, 215 did it for me last year in NH.</p>
<p>I don't remember any state having a cutoff higher than 226, so I think you're safe. </p>
<p>Btw, congrats, that's a really good score! (Esp since you got perfect on math and CR, which are more stressed in college apps) And I think writing is the easiest section to improve on, so you're sure to get a 2400 on your real SAT's! :D</p>
<p>i got almost the exact same as you!!</p>
<p>80 math, 80 writing, 68 reading!!</p>
<p>no state has a cutoff over 226, and it's guaranteed if you're percentile is 99th.</p>
<p>does anyone have an idea of how much this improves chances at colleges?</p>
<p>Well, I think having NMSF as an "award" will look nice. Couple that with a few AP awards, a good GPA, and good SAT, I think one need not worry too much, yes?</p>
