Archmere Seniors Named National Merit Scholars

Four Archmere Academy seniors were named National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) Semifinalists and thirteen were named Commended Students based upon their 2015 PSAT test scores.  

 

Seniors Alison Lobo, Olivia O’Dwyer, Keelin Reilly, and Makala Wang were named Semifinalists, meaning their test scores were among the top 1% of the nearly 1.6 million test takers. Each will be offered the opportunity to apply to become a finalist, which would put them in the top 15,000 applicants nation wide. Decisions on finalists will be released in February. All National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from the group of Finalists.  

 

Commended Students recognize for their exceptional academic promise were Ariana Abbrescia, Christopher (Max) Beck, Anna Cassidy, Leah DaCosta, Abby Kraus, Haley Levinsky, Charles Liston, Nirmal Patel, Kathryn Slomski, Brennan Stark, Emma Stovicek, Idana Tang, and William Wang. Their performance on the PSATs placed them in the top five percent of all the test takers.
