<p>For your college apps, are any of you planning on including "National Merit Semifinalist" as an honor/award? Or should it be "Currently National Merit Semifinalist" (as Finalist/Scholar standings are still pending)?</p>
<p>You will always be a Semifinalist, even if you are not chosen as a Finalist</p>
<p>As there is no other spot for PSAT scores on the application, putting NMS as an award would be reasonable. It would validate high scores on the SAT, showing that they weren’t just lucky.</p>
