National Merit

[slanders09]

i know they sent out the letters this week. so, how many of you (juniors) are thus qualified as commended in the national merit scholarship program? also, what kind of scores did it take you to get there?

I didn't qualify this year (senior) but last year I know the Texas semifinalist cutoff was a 216; I know two 216s who advanced to finalist and I got the scholarship with a 236 if that helps at all.

Yeah, I don't think the psat was that important, I wasn't even asked for it on my college applications, but that's just me.
