<p>can you list awards that you haven't won yet, but are certain to win, like National Merit Semifinalist or AP Scholar w/ Distinction?</p>
<p>i want to send out the common app as soon as possible. does anyone know when we get officially notified?</p>
<p>For the AP award you could put something like "Earned three 5s and three 4s on AP tests as a junior, which meets the qualifications for AP Scholar Scholar with Distinction".</p>
<p>For the National Merit thing, your school should have your finalist application packet within a week or so, and once you get it you can officially call yourself a semifinalist.</p>
<p>You'll be notified of AP awards in September, so don't worry about not having the official letter/certificate yet.</p>
<p>Would you be considered AP scholar w/ distinction if you met the requirements over 2 years (10/11) but are not one individually?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>

<p>From the fine print at the bottom:
"...the student's average AP grade is determined based on all exams taken this year and in previous years..."</p>
