2009 (HS Class of 2010) National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist Essay Question

<p>Just wondering if the essay question changes from year to year.
This year's question reminds me of a tyical college application essay. I can post it if anyone wants it, but I was wondering if the question changes from year to year.</p>

<p>Does it?</p>

<p>That would be great if you could post it! I forgot to write it down before giving my application back to my counselor.</p>

<p>I don’t know if it changes every year… supposedly the essay’s main purpose is to ‘get to know you,’ so it might not change.</p>

<p>This year’s essay topic says:
“To help the reviews get to know you, describe an experience you have had, a person who has influenced you, or an obstacle you have overcome. Explain why this is meaningful to you.”</p>

<p>Pretty stock, if I do say so myself.</p>

<p>How long should the essay be?</p>

<p>^^It just has to fit in the space provided. HighlandDaughter got creative with margins and fonts. ;)</p>
