national merit scholarship?

Does anyone know when you find out if you’re a semi-finalist? I know it’s in September, but is it at the end, halfway, etc? And I only got a 200 on the PSAT and my state cut-off was 210. I got in anyway. My teacher thinks it’s because I’m a female asian. Does anyone know exactly how they choose?

Actually you should have found out at the beginning of September. The application is due to your school officials by the 14th. I know that you will be commended if you get a 200+ which is different than being a semi-finalist. I know they choose semi-finalists solely on the PSAT scores. They screen for finalists through the application.

The PSAT score serves as a ‘first step’ in qualifying for a countrywide benefit Scholarship. the actual score required varies in keeping with the way it compares with others, truly on your own state. In my journey, a score of 218 would be a lot intense adequate to qualify.people who make the decrease with the PSAT score ought to then take the SAT and as quickly as back score intense adequate to be certain a countrywide benefit student. no longer all national benefit pupils actual get scholarships, yet maximum of them would get one in each and every of a few sort.
