<p>Is that the National Peace Essay contest sponsored by US Institute of Peace?</p>
<p>did u win the top award or something for the nat’l essay?</p>
<p>i won for my state</p>
<p>If your a Junior then how do you know your a National Merit Semi Finalist</p>
<p>go check out the PSAT forums - using ur state’s cutoff scores from the last few years - u can kinda guess at ur chances</p>
<p>btw, what schools are u applying for, woleerki?</p>
<p>i’m sorry, i was sort of unclear with a few things and forgot to finish a few thoughts. what i meant to say was that if i was a junior when i took it last year i would have been a semi-finalist and based on my scores from this year i will most likely be again. of course i don’t know for sure but most likely.</p>
<p>neutralnuke,
i’ll most likely be applying to harvard, brown, upenn, and cornell. i want to major in south east studies or if i get into harvard, sanskrit and indian studies, and all those schools offer that. the ones i listed are the top schools on my list though i think they are a reaches so i have some safeties as well.</p>
<p>woleerki, i would say beyond getting those As, and good scores, focus on earning leadership positions in your extracurriculars. those leadership positions are much more important to getting admission than it seems.</p>
<p>yeah, next year my goal is to be NHS president and a co-captain on tennis.</p>
