My DS is also at Blair and we also haven’t heard anything. I think his selection index (which is what is used) was 223.


Mine is also at Blair. Alternate entry w/ 1530. (37, 37, 39.8). This should make the cut off w/ a 224, right? [insert praying hands emoji -- hahaha] Hoping to hear soon!


Yes! Your calculation is correct (to my knowledge) and will definitely qualify at 224! Congrats!

He is at an MCPS HS! The letter arrived at the HS at the beginning of last week. Given the number of NMSF from Blair each year, the principal should definitely be aware of it. Maybe she is waiting until the official press release to notify the students (although she should tell them before that). Then again, it could just be the sheer number of SF and having to print out each of their letters but hopefully Johnson will tell them soon as a 223+ should definitely qualify!


How did they tell your son?


Called him down to the principal's office.

Is this based on PSAT or SAT?

Maybe wait until at least the first day of school?

I think I read 219 for VA. Look on the Compass Prep blog.


Compass isn't listing VA.

Congrats to your son! May I ask which state/county? My child is at Blair, and we haven't heard anything yet - or maybe DC just didn't make the cut, although he did get a 1520 and submitted via alternate entry, so I was hopeful.

Yes! My HS'er was notified yesterday by the principal! Not sure what cutoff is, but he had a 1560 SAT via alternate entry, fwiw


Congrats to your son! My DS had the same SAT score but we didn't find out about the alternate entry until it was too late. You live and you learn 😀
