<p>I am waiting to find out till next Friday if I will be chosen as a semifinalist for Siemens and then turn in my commonapp. Should I list this as a top honor in my commonapp?</p>
<p>I have received NM commendation, AP National Scholar award. What would be the right order for these awards to be listed?</p>
<p>My preference would be:</p>
<p>Siemens Semifinalist
NM Commendation
National AP Scholar</p>
<p>AP National Scholar by the end of 11th grade is very impressive. That’s “granted to students in the United States who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.” Definitely far rarer than NM Commended (or semi-finalist or finalist, for that matter).</p>
<p>Siemens Semifinalist >> National AP Scholar >>> National Merit Commendation</p>
<p>^I agree with that.</p>
