tutti…Anyone who meets or exceeds the cutoff score for a particular state becomes a Semifinalist. Following the Semifinalist notification in the fall of their senior year, there is an application process (short essay, official transcript, paperwork from student and school, sending of SAT score, etc.) before Finalist status can be awarded in February of the student’s senior year.

As mentioned by others, the individual state cutoff scores are for Semifinalist status. For Commended status, there is one national score cutoff (normally around 201). I haven’t heard of any guaranteed scholarships for Commended students, although it is a nice achievement to list on your applications as part of an overall resume.
