[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a semifinalist is just based on PSAT which is not that important to top colleges. Being a scholar takes into account recommendations, essay, activities, grades etc[/quote] I suspect that based on the timing of the announcements for National Merit finalists (February) and the timing of college application deadlines (by January), if schools care, they pay attention to the semifinalist round rather than the finalist round. The colleges themselves will also receive recommendations, essay, activities, grades, etc., so they don't need the National Merit Scholarship Corporation to further vet the kids. if NMSC thinks they're not worthy of becoming a finalist, there's a good chance the schools would also already have figured that out by the time the press releases are out.[/quote]
