    Bluemagic, where did you find the Class of '17 index scores for PSAT? I see estimates and judging from them, DS isn't getting anything in our state. But maybe there is still hope?

    (Since we have the same son, I'm waiting for the teacher who went with him on the trip this summer to offer to write a letter, too lol! Not holding my beach, though.)

    I got my information from several people on College Confidential. Semi-finalist dates vary by state and aren't officially released. Was told 209 is the cut-off nationally for commended. I can as/look around to find where that number is published.

    The answer is home schooled kids have been sent their commended reports. And a few schools have already told their students. Basically parents sharing the info online. Most schools doesn't announce this till the fall but commended is a national cut-off.

    SAT subject scores are out. 800 on Physics and Math 2. Meanwhile, failing the two online classes he's taking this summer to fulfill state graduation requirements. These are basic, low-level and if he doesn't pass he has to drop a course in the fall and spring and take them at school. Well, he could take it online again, but it would be an additional hour of work very day on top of a grueling school schedule, and besides, the school surely wouldn't approve it. Sigh. Insert fist bump and head-bang emojis here.

    Great news on the SAT Subject scores.

    Has DS take the Math 2 last year and he did a 780. He took it last year because he finished pre-calc. Didn't have him take anymore this year because I don't think he need any. Looks like none of his schools he is applying to will even look at them.

    Since DS hasn't even picked out any schools, we figured we'd hedge our bets and get all the good stuff to put on an app that we can, just in case he considers schools that consider them.
