| National Merit Commended Cut-off 2008: 16 April 2007
Yikes! According to the CB, tomorrow schools are notified of the students who qualify for at least NM Commended. I'm not sure what that means- I can't think how every school would be notified on the same day.
Can anyone who finds out the commended cut-off post it here tomorrow?

Ohio, perhaps.  I hope not though! What I wonder is if the NMSC will tell me the cut-off if (when?) I call tomorrow. Quote: |

no, freshman and sophmores don't get anything. My friend got a 240 sophomore year, and it said she didn't qualify for anything.
Commended scores will be about 202-205, like always.

Looks like we won't find out for another few days. Still, post when you find out the cut-off (when you're positive you're correct). The information was mailed today but the NMSC won't comment until at least the end of the week (I spoke to them today) and principals don't have the mail yet.
DR, this is actually a unique year. The cut-offs, as far as I know, have almost included at least one number in the 96th percentile. This year that would mean 200 or lower, I believe. 205 would be 98th only.

Will they just be notifying about commended? Or commended and semi-finalist? Are semi-finalists decided at the same time as commended? I don't really know how it works.

No, you just know that you have been a high-scorer. You don't know whether you're commended or a semi-finalist until fall 2007.

Ah, thanks. Do you think a 221 will be enough for semi-finalist?

It depends on your state, but I think that might be Semi- in every state. If not, it is in most.

Does anyone know what selection indices are included in the 96 and 97 percentiles?
