My son is a semifinalist in NJ. (cutoff 221) He scored a 1990 on his SAT (he had a bad day). After scoring a 33 on the ACT he decided not to take the SAT again. He was told that he is not a finalist due to his "low" SAT score. We were told that by NMSC that they add up math, English scores plus ONLY THE MULTIPLE CHOICE score for writing on the SAT. If it is under 1960 the semifinalist cannot qualify for finalist. Even though my son got a 1990 the score minus the essay score of 11 added up to 1940.

Just heard on PBS's American Experience: Bill Clinton, that he was a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist, so all this nonsense about his 1050 SAT score is just a typical right-wing, unsourced slander.
