<p>I can’t thank you enough for linking all of these great threads to me :D</p>
<p>Ah, alright, so I did make it by one point -though, as they only take the top 36k for semifinalists out of commended, and then a further cut for finalists (finalists are the only ones who need SAT I), should I still take the test? (my chances at semifinalist seem slim, or am I getting the structure of the national merit system wrong?)</p>
