Great news!

#1 Postby OtherHD » Thu Apr 24, 2003 12:01 pm

Today I was informed that I am one step away from being a semi-finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Program! I got a score greater than 200 on the PSATs in October (mine was 204) and as a result, I am one step closer to being a National Merit Scholar! I am now among 50,000 high-achieving students who were picked out of a total of over a million people who took the test. I'll find out in September if I get to move on further and become one of 16,000 semi-finalists. If I am not, I will still be designated a Commended Student.

:D :D :D

OtherHD...this is great news! Not being all that smart, I have nonetheless finally begun using the tools that work for me. I would love to have the opportunties out in front of me that you have today.

We are all proud of you, and we all wish you the best success with the scholarship. Even without it you have shown yourself to be a winner!

Thanks for letting us get excited with you about your news!
