National Merit Scholarship Question

<p>I have read on the USC website that the school offers half scholarships to National Merit finalists who list USC as the top choice. I was named a National Merit Semifinalist with a PSAT score of 231. On the finalist application, I listed USC as my top-choice school for NMF. Do I have a good shot at getting this scholarship, or am I simply one of many other students who listed USC as their first choice? Any information would be gladly appreciated, thanks.</p>

<p>Assuming you advance to finalist, your only remaining obstacle is to be admitted to USC. If you are admitted to USC, are a NMF and name USC as your top-choice school, *you will receive *the 1/2 tuition scholarship, currently worth about $20,000/year. <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/private/docs/1112/uscScholarships1112v2.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/private/docs/1112/uscScholarships1112v2.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
