[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a 2017 with a 96% - 99% score by percentile, what does that mean? I don't care about the 225 last year or whatever. Is being somewhere in the top 4 percent meaningful or just a nice thing along the way and an indicator of SAT success next? Is it the top 1% only or the top 3% only that gives a realistic shot at being an NMSF?

I know it is different by state, but what did a 2017 kid in the high 90%s get out of this aside from a great baseline indication for the SAT to come. [/quote]

If you are 99th percentile for all subsets, you have a shot for NMSF in all three local jurisdictions- no guarantee though.  If you are in the 97th percentile overall- you have a shot at being commended.  MD, DC and VA have traditionally had some of the higher cut offs.  You can go to the massive thread on college confidential and see where the cut offs are for the 99th percentiles by subsets- if you are well above those cut offs for everything- you should be in the running.
