jen - it varies from state to state. When you get your score sheet back, there's a box up in the corner labelled "selection index" or something like that. There should be a number in that box.

Here are the cutoff rates for every state. To achieve the status of national merit scholar, your number should match or surpass that of your state cutoff rate.

AL...211 AK...214 AZ...212 AR...202 CA...215

CO...210 CT...219 DE...216 DC...222 FL...213

GA...211 HI...215 ID...203 IL...213 IN...210

IA...209 KS...212 KY...207 LA...207 ME...214

MD...220 MA...222 MI...209 MN...214 MS...201

MO...211 MT...206 NE...208 NV...203 NH...213

NJ...220 NM...207 NY...217 NC...212 ND...205

OH...211 OK...207 OR...211 PA...214 RI...213

SC...208 SD...204 TN...212 TX...214 UT...203

VT...212 VA...218 WA...212 WV...203 WI...210

WY...204 U.S TERRITORIES& COMMONWEALTHS...201

OUTSIDE THE U.S. ...222

Notice that the cutoff rates for the northern states are higher because that's where all the magnet schools are.

This is why I've always said the PSAT should be abolished. Just look at the bloodshed.

I think it's kind of funny how you actually went hunting for my posts just to diss me, which, by the way, I am not offended.
