<p>Can't say that I've ever sat in on an adm comm. mtg. (sometimes I think I would want to, other times I think definitely not -- could be like watching sausage being made). However, I'm going to disagree with other posters in this forum who have stated that Natl Merit Seminfinalist standing is not imp. to colleges. Really?? These are the same colleges (e.g., Ivies) who care so desperately about class rank? (5% or under, usually) That's interesting that they wouldn't care that this year's NM semifinalists amount to 1.2+% of those who took the qualifying test. Yes, it's a test score, not an internat'l award. But I beg to differ that it is "not impressive." I'm the only semifinalist in my very competitive, generally high-scoring & quite accomplished class. It may or may not help get me into be first choice colleges, but it's not "nothing."</p>
