<p>Whats the cut off for commended scholar status? Does anyone know. Because I got a 200 and live in Florida. I hope they don’t do a lottery like it says in one of the last replies. I’m in the 96th percentile. I hope I get in, just for the little letter thing and the title. It says on the website that commended students get notified through their high schools in late september. Its now late september. I wish I would have heard by now. I wish I had got a few points higher. If I got 11 points higher I’d be a semifinalist like my one friend. Or I wished I got one more point and lived in Wyoming. So close, but yet so far! haha.</p>
