<p>So, quick and not very intelligent question:</p>
<p>When I'm filling in my awards etc. and it asks whether it's national, state, school or whatever, I'm a little confused.</p>
<p>If I get National Merit Semi-Finalist, will that be state or national? I know it's NATIONAL Merit, but on the other hand it's on a state by state basis?</p>
<p>Also, for the National French Exam I got 6th place in the state and 8th place nationally. Do I list them separately on, say, the CommonApp, and if so is the 6th place in state a state award or a national one?</p>
<p>Oh, and one more thing - for something like AP Scholar, if I take the AP exams in 11th grade but get notification of the award in 12th, is it considered an 11th or 12th grade award...?</p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions!</p>
