[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y[b]es, commended is a national number, while semifinalist is state based. I think commended is especially helpful in states with high semifinalist cutoff[/b]. No one knows if your kid had a high score and just missed the semifinalist cut or just made commended! Never heard on quarter finalist. I don't think that's a thing.[/quote] OP and this is what I was thinking. Virginia cutoff is projected to be 221 this year and my kid is 210 (so not “close” for Virginia), but still above the 208 mark. But if child lists “commended scholar”—then for all the school knows, child’s index # could have been 220. So probably good to include along with four other awards. Not sure DC has five “awards” to list without this. Thanks to all for the valuable input. [/quote]
