[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote]I will say, my child had almost-perfect SAT scores, but did not apply for this honor. I can see from the list, though, [b]that several classmates who he knows to have had lower SAT scores did apply,[/b] and have apparently made the cutoff. This is a bit self-selective in that respect.[/quote]

She said the son said he said she said.  How do you know?  Which set of SAT scores did the College Board send your son?  How many times over the last 4 years has your son taken the SAT?[/quote][/b]

You don't "apply" to this.  You either make it, or get a commendation, based off of your PSAT scores, then SAT.[/quote]

No, PSAT scores have nothing to do with it. The 20 male and 20 female seniors in each state who get the highest combined M + CR SAT scores or equivalent ACT scores, in one sitting, become candidates, regardless of whether they look the PSAT or how they did on it. The students do not apply. The Dept. of Ed. gets the info from the test agencies. If more than one student was the same cut-off score, all the tied students are included, regardless of how many students this is. THis is why there are so many candidates from CA. Lots of kids there got perfect M+CR scores.

In addition, up to 5 male and 5 female students can be nominated by some state commissioner for each state. Doesn't look like this happened in DC.

Finally, 20 artists are selected from the YoungArts competition and added to the list.
