Three Archmere Seniors Named National Merit Semifinalists

9/28/2015

Archmere seniors Gregory McCord, Rahul Subbaraya, and Caleb Wang were named National Merit Semifinalists because of their high scores on the PSATs, taken in their junior year. Only 16,000 students (of approximately 1.5 million) achieve this honor and are invited to apply for the National Merit Scholarship each year. To be considered for a National Merit® Scholarship, Semifinalists must advance to Finalist standing in the competition. Finalists will be announced in late February and Merit Scholarship Winners in March.

Eleven other Archmere seniors were among the top 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT and will receive the recognition of being named National Merit Commended Students. Overall, 13% of the senior class was recognized as at least a Commended Student, which is an increase over last year’s 12%. The Class of 2015 had three National Merit Scholarship Winners.
