Could you also please post how many points the score changed from the previous year (dropped/raised)?

rchockey94 · August 23, 2007, 10:15pm

BPKO43, any word on the Illinois cutoff besides <=224? I’m right on the border w/ a 213, so I’m really anxious to know.

just got an email from principal that selection index for IL is 213 to be semifinalist.

crazy_mom · August 24, 2007, 10:26am

Thanks for the update on IL. The original posted was so high, I was getting worried about what IA’s might be.

hal29 · August 24, 2007, 11:50am

^ Actually, considering the average 3 point change because of the writing section, that’s only a 2 point drop for IL. And IL had a 2 point increase the prior year, from 216 to 218…

msp · August 24, 2007, 12:04pm

I decided to work with rlvj’s table a little bit, just copy and paste into the fields with ??'s to report your scores and it’ll make comparisons with previous years a lot easier…2008 is the column for the scores coming out now.

Lets keep it simple and consistent with the way this thread was started. Use this format. The link provides quick access to previous years’ numbers if someone wants to check them. When all the cutoffs are known we can update the big chart for reference.

AZ <= 219
CA = 217 -2
FL <= 212
IL = 213 -5 (huge drop, this is questionable)
IN <= 214
MO <= 221
OH <= 213

Yup, I qualified with a 214… teh yay. Kinda ****ed me off though, I got a 219 my freshman year and a 214 the year it actually mattered. Meh.

Hi ,

Where did you hear that 217 is a cutoof in CA ? My son got 219 so it would be great but we haven’t heard from school yet.
Has anyone with 217 or less has been notified ?
