Finalist Qualification-Disciplinary Record

Hi,
I got a score of 230 on my PSAT, which is good enough for Semifinalist.
This year I received In School Suspension for one day for skipping a class.
I'm mainly concerned as to how this will affect the 5th criteria on the 2011 Student Guide, which is that you need the utmost recommendation from your principal for receiving Finalist.
I do not know my principal very well, and he does not know me very well, but I have a very straight record besides that one infraction (high GPA, high class rank top 5 at the least, I don't know it exactly now, lots of extracurriculars, AP Scholar, I am in the IB Program, I play in the band, volunteer, etc).
Thank you!
