OK… everyone is looking at national percentiles for scores to try and estimate percentiles for SI. if you are in 99 percentile for SI then that means I believe you are in top 15,000 ( of approximately 1.5M juniors who took test) and will definitely be at least commended, but have a great shot at least for NMSF. But it still depends on state.
An insight no one else on CC seems to know yet, or has mentioned. Our GC asked me to send official score report and share that info with her, because schools will not get this until Jan. 29 and she wanted to see what they looked like in case students started asking questions. She only has a spreadsheet. But then she called me in her office Thursday afternoon to share what CB sends counselors. She showed me a column that was “new” this year from previous years. It actually lists the PERCENTILE OF EACH STUDENTS SI NATIONALLY. she said that was a big indicator of NMSF potential. Obviously the 50,000 group will fall into the 98th percentile, but students in the NMSF SI 99 percentile have a great shot (not guarantee) at NMSF. on that chart, with her students, the lowest SI that was still in 99 percent was 207. SO that is great news for 207 and above. But she had no other students make any score higher than 190’s after that so I don’t know where 99 percent cutoff for SI stops. Eventually if people in lower 200’s could ask GC for their % for SI, we could find out where it changes from 99%to 98%.
