[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a national cut off score or scoring within the top scorers in your state? From the website, it seems like there is a jurisdictional element to the seminfinalist designation: "To ensure that academically able young people from all parts of the United States are included in this talent pool, Semifinalists are designated on a state representational basis. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state." I read that to mean that the cutoff scores in each state could be different, and I think your state is the state where your school is located, so maybe the cutoff is higher in DC? [/quote] My understanding is that DC's cut-off is always pegged at the highest cut-off from all other states (usually Massachusetts). Thus, DC students do face a tougher battle for NMSF status than VA or MD. However, I think the difference is not huge. I seem to recall that in one recent year, DC's cut-off was 221, while VA & MD were in the 216-17 range.[/quote]
