What do the numbers before the names in the NMSF press release mean?

<p>See here: <a href="http://www.ibabuzz.com/education/wp-content/uploads/files/2009/09/natlmeritsemifinalists.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ibabuzz.com/education/wp-content/uploads/files/2009/09/natlmeritsemifinalists.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I think that is the College Major interest code (entered by the student) from the PSAT test.</p>

<p>^ Woah… do you know where to get that PDF (list of finalists or semifinalists) for another state besides California?</p>

<p>^ I just stumbled upon that on a google search. It looks like it’s a press release so I’m sure there are copies for other states floating around somewhere. There is also an email address you could try. It’s obviously not private information, you know?</p>

<p>^^ Just Google “SEMIFINALISTS IN THE 2010
NATIONAL MERIT® SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM [Insert name of your state here]”</p>

<p>The link posted here is related to California only. Thanks Dnerd.</p>

<p>Anyone here that did not find their state?</p>

<p>is there a place where all states are listed?</p>

<p>mazewanderer said “is there a place where all states are listed?”
I would like to know too, please if somebody knows the answer share it with us. Thanks.</p>

<p>Greenery: Are you looking for a particular state?</p>

<p>I am thinking the press releases were probably sent to the media on an individual state basis.</p>

<p>That’s right, without identifying the state, they didn’t publish it…I have been googling in the suggested form here without success. I was wondering if many states did not publish it neither.</p>
