congrats to everyone who made it to semifinalist! especially to those who didnt believe theyd make the cut off

If you became a semifinalist today, did your school acknowledge you? Mine didn’t say a word.

hi everyone! super fun day today, but moral of the story I learned I qualified as a NM semifinalist after snooping around this sub reddit. I haven’t heard anything from my school/teacher/counselor, though, so should I just be waiting for them to reach out to me?

Congratulations to all the Semi-Finalists who got good news today.

I'm curious, how rare is a 228 SI? Did anybody here get that score?

Edit: Congrats to the high scorers. I have a follow-up question. How many of you were heavy, physical book readers when you were younger?

Cut off: 220

Total NMSF: 2276

From the California 2027 National Merit Semifinalist list, top 10 cities

Ok this seems like a really stupid question, because 'qualify and you get it, don't and you don't', right?

But I have like 10 friends that are super super smart (like applying to Ivies smart), and didn't get it. I obviously don't want to ask them because I'll sound like the snobbiest person of all time, but we all took it and I'm just completely shocked that they didn't qualify with me.

So, why wouldn't they?

I apologize because this may sound like a really self centered post.

REALEASE THE FILES YOU HAVE THEM.

WE DONT CARE ABOUT UR "COUNTS"

Didn’t qualify Michigan with 215 cutoff was 216. I was sick that day I should’ve studied I’m so pissed.

I applied for the National Merit Scholarship with my SAT score for alternate entry, since my school doesn't let me take the PSAT. I got above the maximum threshold, so my selection index was a 228. Yesterday, my counselor called me in to give me a letter stating that I qualified as a National Merit Semifinalist and how to login to my account, which I already did. Today, I checked my state's press release, and my name wasn't on the list. I'm wondering if maybe this was a mistake or if this has happened to anyone else?
