You'd find better correlation with the semifinalists.

Becoming a finaliost does almost nothing to make you more attractive to colleges.  It is mostly to make you eligible for scholarships[/quote]

Schools won't admit you because you're a finalist/scholar, but there's definitely a correlation here. Not an accident that 2 of the top 3 are MIT and Harvard.[/quote]
