Correction: Being a National Merit Semifinalist isn’t much of a distinction ON COLLEGECONFIDENTIAL! But being in the top 16000 out of 1.4 million is still pretty impressive, at least when it comes to state colleges, smaller liberal arts schools, etc. And even some of the top schools offer scholarships for NM, schools you might not have expected to do so. Carleton College, for example.
