It does? This is one of the times I wish the letter came electronically, so I could search its text. I don't see anything like that statement on the letter my son received at our house. Maybe not everyone is getting the same letter.
oh alright thank you, I didn't realize that this years cutoff wasn't out yet. Around when does it come out? Also, if I qualify to be a semifinalist, does that mean I have no chance of becoming a finalist because my score is so close to the cut off and lower than a lot of other peoples or is becoming a finalist based off of something else?
The semifinalist letters will go to the school in August. If you are named a Semifinalist you have an excellent chance to become a Finalist as 15000 of the 16000 Semifinalists will become Finalists. They look at GPA, activities and recommendations. Get all your paper work in on time. Finalists will be named in February.
The Natl Hispanic Recognition Program is run separately, and I believe the cutoffs are by state or region. The cutoffs are quite a bit lower. In Texas, it was in the 190s.
I, too, received my letter at home and am not homeschooled. I hope I receive the semifinalist letter(if I get one..) at home, so I don't have to wait until September to find out.. Pleeeease let the cutoff for Minnesota go back down to 2008 level.
