[quote=SAM2]21:38, thanks for your comments.

(1) In the absence of better info, I'm inclined to stick with Washington Examiner data. The number that newspaper provided is consistent with the very high NMSF, Presidential Scholar Semifinalist, and Presidential Scholar Candidate numbers for the school. 
(2) Thanks for catching my typo. I had 702 for the reading score instead of 707. I believe my other numbers were correct. 
(3a) I'm pretty certain I do understand the Presidential Scholar program. I provided people with both Semifinalist and Candidate numbers. If you want to advocate on behalf of your favorite school by arguing why you think Candidate numbers are more significant, feel free. I'm just posting the data. 
(3b) I'm curious about your claims that "many candidates don't bother to pursue the next level" and "many candidates decide not to pursue further the scholarship." What support do you have for these statements? I'd think that any student smart and motivated enough to score 1570+ on her SATs (or whatever score was needed for Candidate status that year) would also be smart and motivated enough to submit materials for consideration as a Semifinalist. If you'd provide credible support for those claims, I'd be very interested to read it.

Thanks again for your comments.[/quote]
