I just received a letter from National Merit Corporation saying that I didn’t make it. This is quite unexpected, as my stats/ECs/recs got me to Yale, MIT, Columbia and a number of other top colleges, and I also made the Presidential Scholar semi-final list. Does anybody know what criteria they are using to select NM winners? Is it even more subjective than college admission process?
