[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson had one. Walls had one. Latin had one. Tough year for everyone [/quote] DC has the highest cutoff score of any state (tied with Massachusetts). The NMS is based on where kids go to school, not where they live, and cutoff scores are based on a certain percentage. DC has a lot of private schools that serve the whole region, and those schools dominate the semifinalists. So it's tougher for kids who live in DC to qualify than it would be otherwise. [/quote] Actually, I seem to recall hearing that DC is automatically set to be whatever the highest qualifying score is.[/quote]
