[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Semifinalist is top 1%. So DC should have 54. [/quote] Semifinalist is top 1/2%[/quote] Not quite. "Individual states have very different profiles because of the way that Semifinalists are allocated. A state receives an allocation of Semifinalists proportionate to the total number of high school juniors in a class. The number of students taking the PSAT is irrelevant. Utah has the lowest percentage of PSAT takers within its junior class, so it has the highest percentage (2.7%) of “entrants” — PSAT-taking juniors who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents — who received Commended Student or Semifinalist status. At the other end of the spectrum is Connecticut. Almost all of the state’s juniors take the PSAT, so only about 0.6% of students receive National Merit honors." https://www.compassprep.com/national-merit-semifinalists-by-state/ [/quote]
