What score and when for commended?

I think you need to be above the 220 mark to be a serious contender for the national merit scholarship

<p>Not necessarily true. For NMSC’s own scholarships, higher the better. Again it is state proportionate, so in some states a 220 may not cut it, in others it might. </p>

<p>For Corporate and College Scholarships, yes in some cases. In other cases all you need is to qualify.</p>
