| yes, you receive in april letting you know that you are one of the top 50,000 high scorers, but they don't let you know whether you made semi finalist or not until september | |

| I'm hoping my 206 (98th percentile), makes me a semifinalist. According to my calculations, the top 1.86% of scorers will become semifinalists, placing me right on the edge. It just depends on whether my 98% was rounded down or up. | |

| Woo hoo on the 200 making it! DS has 201 and no hope of semi (esp. in CA), but I was hoping he'd make the commended cut. | |

| It looks like letters are starting to trickle in. Congrats to all who have heard. D's school gets the info first then mails it to us, so it looks like next week before she hears anything. PSAT was 224, state:TN | |
