[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got 226 in MD and haven’t heard anything [/quote]

Don't worry! You're good. Those who know are probably homeschooled or somehow in with the principal.  Only principals are informed initially.  Last year they made an announcement around mid Sept.[/quote]

You are wrong on both counts. Students at my school were simply informed by their guidance counselor last week. Done this way every year. 
Obviously a 226 would count as the MD cutoff is 222, but skeptical of the 226 score[/quote]

DS has a 227 in MD and still hasn't heard anything.  I want him to submit some rolling admissions applications and he wants to wait for official notification - it's silly.  What's the point of making scores up?  It's frustrating every year, PSAT scores take longer then SAT/ACT scores, then an 9 month wait for official semi-finalist announcement (with a slow trickle state by state) and then another long wait for NMF when 15K out of 16K make it.[/quote]
