*So suppose the cut off for the finalists is 215 in my state, does that mean that everyone who got 215 or higher is a semifinalist? *

Yes.

But, if that’s the cutoff for this last year, you don’t know what it’s going to be for next year. Cutoffs can go up or down several points each year. Typically they only swing up to 2 points, but some states will occasionally have 5 point swing.

That said, in the past, the highest cut-off has been 223…so anyone with a 223 or higher in any state has made NMSF.
