<p>Hey I’m a junior in Colorado and got a 223 on my PSAT and was seeing if anyone had a clue as to what the cutoff would be this year? And what happens if you’re commended? Anything more than just a pat on the back?</p>
<p>Commended is just a pat on the back. I don’t know what the cutoff for Colorado is but I’m 100% sure you made semifinalist, since the highest cutoffs in the nation are around 225-ish.</p>
<p>According to this thread:</p>

<p>you make it for Colorado! Congratulations!</p>
