National Merit Cutoff Predictions Class of 2017

@mom2collegekids Art on Compass says that he now has multiple sources confirming that score.

Could someone post the essay prompt for those of us who won’t get it from their school until after Sept. 14?

To all students (or their parents) who missed out on NMSF by few points: You might be interested in the below service or certification. An interesting idea.

Not affiliated in any way. Just came across their website by chance.

Thank you @websensation but it looks like the last test date year that can be selected for certification is 2014. :frowning:

@momof3co I assume you have to contact them directly to see if a certification can be obtained for 2016. Their email is: acadiumscholar@gmail.com

Yes, we are waiting on word for AZ too…sitting on 216 and expecting 217-218…

I am waiting for Nevada. I have heard nothing.

It has been fun everyone. Pretty sure I’ve got the results I was interested in, so time for me to get back to work/life. Best of luck to all.

Curious about Connecticut… nothing mentioned at all.

Are the states that haven’t been mentioned much mostly states where schools start after Labor Day?

@Ynotgo yes, most likely. Pretty sure we are in great shape as far as confirmations go. Not sure they were this far along last year and Dookster didn’t post till a few days into September. This year, however, the Release Day is later than it was last year so it’s good to get a jump start on these results. Hopefully the essay prompt and confirming SAT scores will be posted soon for those who need them.

My D has been back in school for almost a month in AZ. Nothing…

Nope. School has started in NV. Classes began Monday at the latest.

NV here, @mtrosemom, and no info yet either. D17 asked GC yesterday and she said she hadn’t seen anything yet.

Thanks @TimEnchanter. I’ll let you know if I hear anything (sigh).

Art posted he is providing a major update tonight. We can still mention Art on this thread, right? LOL

Waiting on CT too. S17’s school has historically had 3-4 SFs. Based on the informal poll of his advanced math class, 218 is the score that would generate that number for his school. Matches the prediction for CT on Compass.

Hopefully Art will fill in many of the remaining states soon !

Confirmed:

Missouri 216.

MN 219.

Per Adam Ingersoll on Art’s blog. (Art seems to be gone for the afternoon).
