They haven't announced who is a semi finalist yet, even though ith asn't been announced it was 219 this year, 234 should be fine. Hmmm... it was 215 my year. Scraped by with a 216  .To become a finalist: 1. You just need to take the SAT and get at least an equivalent score. I matched my PSAT score with an equivalent score of 2160 lol. 2. They send you this paper application that you need to fill out with accomplishments and stuff. You'll also need to write an essay, but that is easy to BS. If you finished #1, you've pretty much clinched finalist status assuming you finished #2 on time. The 3% of semi-finalists who don't make finalist mainly fail because of turning in their application late. | ||

I wish I got a 223 or something in that range. Grades wise I"m not that great, hopefully I can become a finalist. | ||

I think you'll be fine if you get at least a 2190 on the SAT, which I don't think should be too hard for you considering you got a 234. | ||

I know Asian parents have -that- mentality, but maybe you can talk to her about being more reasonable with her expectations. You're obviously bright; you don't need crazy Asian parents to reinforce that <_<. | ||

My parents have been divorced since elementary school, I lived with my mom; she's very free/liberal with her parenting and never made me do anything I didn't want to do. I also didn't get a single A in math the entire time I was in high school, and she was pretty much ok with it. I think it's worked out for the best, though. I don't have any unrealistic expectations of how life should work, and looking back on it, I really enjoyed my middle school/high school years, and I have an excellent relationship with my mother.

They are turning off the internet in 3 minutes so this is my last post of the night lol.What did you end up doing with your life, ie college lol. | ||

I'm currently a junior in college studying statistics and couldn't be happier. I applied to only three schools, all of which I got in, and I ended up choosing my first choice. My mom didn't pressure me to apply anywhere, but to choose schools at which I thought I'd be happy. EDIT: I assumed you were Asian because of the Korean in the post. I just realized it's Samsung's team, but at first glance I thought it was some Korean thing I didn't understand XD | ||

though really above 230 is all the same (just like above 2300 on SAT is all the same)except mayyyyyyybe 240 but that's just whatever to become a national merit finalist you need to fill out this short app, and pretty much everyone who submits a legitimate app becomes a finalist. but not everyone gets a scholarship. oh and if you got a 2310 already that's "matching" enough | ||

I have Asian parents who make me do stuff, but they don't get on me if I'm doing something right. It's good that you've founded outside help instead of trying to face everything on your own. TL can be a great place to unload sometimes. @Club idea: Go for it! As long as you have a pretty solid network of friends already, it's easy to start a club and you'll have a bunch of initial members. I started an RTS club this year, and after getting the formalities of the interview (all of the clubs at my school have to be approved), it's been a blast. I've blogged about two of the BW lans my club has hosted already on TL. | ||

if you want to get ahead, get an internship, but its really not necessary. job + volunteer work should suffice enough | ||
