<p>I got a 73 in math, a 79 in critical reading, and an 80 in writing. I know a 232 will advance me to semifinalist standing. My question pertains to the requirements for becoming a finalist. I am homeschooled and will have a high school GPA around 3.85. I am taking Algebra 2 this year. Though I haven’t always focused on my studies, I am currently taking English and History for dual credit at the local college and have straight As this semeter. Am I likely to advance to Finalist standing? Also, do they allow you to send extra documents, like reading lists, to give them more insight into your calibre as a student? I think if I could submit a reading list that would really help (Great Expectations, Paradise Lost, Anti-Intellectualism in American Life etc.).</p>
<p>You will receive a packet next September that explains exactly what you can send in with your application. </p>
<p>15,000 of the 16,000 semi’s will make finalist, so your chances are good. You need to get a comparable score on your SAT, keep your grades up, write a good essay, and have some EC’s.</p>
