they missed Einstein!
(confirmed)
Would be shocked if WJ didn't have any NMSF's this year tho.
I'm guessing they did not list the names because for some crazy reason, *they don't have them*

Not looking like a great year. Last year was 180.
Last year (Class of '25) was 158. Class of '24 had 186.

Hopefully, they'll share the total number, rather than >100.

For the ones above. Years ago, I lived in a small in Midwest. The high school nearby can only have 1-2 students qualifying semi finalist each year, no more than 3. So each year, they hold a cardboard saying “National merit semi finalist..” something like that to take a photo at the front door. Those photos were on the wall in cafeteria. Seriously, you can the ones back to probably 20 years.

We don't call HYP T100 even though it's technically accurate.

This is not a culture celebrating achievement. Pathetic.

That's a huge decline. Almost cut in half.
Well, we don’t know what “more than 100” means. Also, remember there are fewer kids in this class.

At the VERY least, how many from each school.

Oh this is so disappointing. Publish the names by school.
