[quote=Anonymous]I don't think National Merit is transparent about how they set the state-by-state cutoffs. However, the rules are clear that students are grouped by where they go to school, not where they live. So a child from Bethesda or McLean who attends a DC independent school is considered a DC student and competes with DCPS students. And a New Jersey resident who attends Horace Mann competes with New Yorkers. But, it cuts both ways. There are a fairly large number of DC independent school students from the suburbs who would be semi-finalists if the Maryland or Virginia cutoffs were applied instead.[/quote]
