Background Information:
Approximately 16,000 students nationwide are named semifinalists in this year's 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. To qualify as a semifinalist, over 1.3 million juniors from 21,000 high schools entered the program by taking the 2023 preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. To be considered, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition, which includes completing the application, having a consistently high academic record, writing an essay, being endorsed and recommended by a school official, and taking the SAT or ACT and earning a score that confirms the PSAT/NMSQT performance.
