<p>School had 4 semi-finalists and 3 were called into the office and told they were finalists (certificates will be given at a special event). The kids talked amongst themselves and guessed that it was due to the fact that none of them had any Cs except for the one who was rejected.</p>
<p>Accepted. Probably equal number of Bs and As, one C+, unweighted GPA of 3.5, 230 on PSAT, 2280
on SAT.</p>
<p>It might help to post state as well. I think this could have a bearing on the discussion and help frame this topic up. Just like there are different qualifying scores on a state level basis, there will likely be different qualifying stats. Appears to be a numbers game (much like college accpetance, etc.) and that could be very different in different states. Not complaining, just curious.</p>

<p>You should mention what state you’re from because it does make a difference.</p>
<p>Why would what State you’re from make a difference at the semi final to final stage?</p>
<p>When the NMSC selects from the finalists those who will receive the $2,500 scholarship, the state will count, for the $2,500 schoalrship is awarded on a state representational basis (see the section on "Types of Merit Scholarship Awards " [National</a> Merit Scholarship Corporation - NMSP](<a href=“http://www.nationalmerit.org/nmsp.php]National”>http://www.nationalmerit.org/nmsp.php)).</p>

<p>In our county, 34 of 36 NMSF’s advanced to NMF, spread among 7 different high schools.</p>
<p>Congrats for getting NMF guys!</p>
<p>Son was accepted from WI. All A’s (one A-). No B’s or C’s.</p>
<p>Accepted! </p>
<p>And with 8 B’s, stupid EC’s like Skyping with strangers, a mediocre essay with errors, and a SAT score below 2000!</p>
<p>I can’t believe I almost gave up on this recognition last year ago when I got a referral for plagiarizing and a C in that class (changed to a B by getting a 4 on the AP exam) and when I struggled with writing that required essay (writing is my worst subject).</p>
<p>The funny thing is that my PSAT score wouldn’t have qualified me for Semi-finalist if I were not “kidnapped” and then “abandoned” by my biological mother.
She lives in California, and my biological father lives in Texas, which I considered moving to as a sophomore and junior. </p>
<p>I definitely don’t deserve the recognition. My heart goes out to those rejected as an independent teen who has seriously worried about her future since the age of 9. I believe you guys will still pay off all your debts and achieve more than what the majority of American youth will ever achieve.</p>
