<p>I have a problem:</p>
<p>I was notified as a National Merit Semifinalist this September with a PSAT compostite in Texas of a 220 (80 CR 74 M 66W). But I took the SAT in November and I was truly surprised by my scores (it might be an error?) with a 2050 composite (580 CR 720 M 750 W, 12/12 on essay). Is this enough to qualifiy me for the next stage in Texas, which is National Merit Finalist?</p>
<p>Thanks, any help appreciated.</p>

<p>Chances are that if you made semifinalist, you’ll make finalist. 15000 semifinalists out of 16000 make it. After that though, may be a little tougher.</p>
<p>I’m a semi-finalist and they only use your scores to confirm your PSAT scores. But I have no idea how you’d get an 80 PSAT and a 580 SAT on CR, they might get suspicious and DQ you, I don’t know.</p>
<p>oh rly? crap. cuz i was also wondering how i got 580 on CR. maybe it was the vocab…</p>
<p>I think you’ll be OK. My daughter’s class had 14 semis and 13 made finalist. The 14th had a low C average.</p>
<p>same problem…I got 2070…I think we’re ok. I do know last year they looked for a 1300 (CR + M) and of course good grades, recs, etc…I’m calling NM tomorrow…good luck</p>
