National Merit Discussion Class of 2026

Likely some have. If not they will in the next couple of days.

We should hear from homeschooling parents first.

Art Sawyer started updating - Florida at 219.

Thx! I came to update this as well. I guess we just now madly update the page multiple times per hour to see if/when other states are shared ??? I :smiley: :slight_smile:

What I don’t get is if the info is available (which has been for almost a year why they make them wait???

Ok done with my vent :))

yes, we are anxiously waiting sitting at a SI of 221 for Oregon (but mail may take time to arrive all the way to the West Coast) and not sure if the school will inform early.

221 likely more than enough for OR as it exceeds the 220 at top of estimated range.

Our CA letter came yesterday.

Are you a homeschooler or did it go to your high school principal?

Thank you. Northern or Southern CA?

Can you please share the index number you received? We haven’t heard anything in schools in CA as far as I know.

Northern CA. 227.

Any updates for today?? Any new states to share? I’m surprised by how quiete all sites have been. We are less than a week away and only a couple of states?

I think I’m going crazy with the “refresh” button :))))

The wait is so hard! I’m hoping tomorrow more states get leaked.

There is a tutoring site that is claiming CA is confirmed at 223. McElroy tutoring. Anyone know if this is a reputable site? Seems they may have pulled their data from a less reputable but well known site.

I just looked at the McElroy site. It is saying that the cutoff is greater than 222 for California as they have confirmation of an index score of 222 not qualifying. Not sure if it’s legit or not.

Art/Compass just updated

CA > 222
FL = 219
IL > 220
NC <= 220
OK <= 213

How do they know it doesn’t qualify? Unless the student got a “commended” notification? Or other students at that school were notified and they weren’t? College Board doesn’t send “you didn’t make it” letters…

From quick comp seems like indexes are coming higher, is this how you are reading it?

At least for FL, CA, IL

NC and OK tbd
