[quote=Anonymous]I was also a national merit scholar in the early 90’s. The application was brief & I also got $2500 per year. It was nice, but really no big deal, and no one has ever commented on it or seemed to care (no one cares about phi beta kappa, either - except my mom). I had iNMS on my CV for years, but finally took it off when I was about 40. I also wasn’t all that great academically - I only got a 1400 on my SATs and didn’t have a 4.0 - but I was from Delaware, which probably gave me a huge advantage since 1) there’s like 100 people in the whole state and 2) the public high schools in DE weren’t exactly churning out kids destined for the Ivy League - they were more focused on athletics. Ironically, my high school friends (who were great at field hockey and all went to UD) mostly make more money and are happier and more content than me, but that’s a whole other issue![/quote]
