21 MBA Students Named National Merit Semifinalist

MBA is pleased to announce that the National Merit Scholarship Program has selected 21 members of the Class of 2013 as National Merit Semifinalists.

 

The list includes: Adam Bowman, Tom Bu, Hunter Crabtree, Chris Habermann, Chris Hooks, McLean Hudson, Andrew Karpos, Lucas Littlejohn, Bradley Long, Mark Lowe, Jake Macey, David Maynard, Will McFadden, John Mellow, Hamilton Millwee, McKay Proctor, Christian Sargent, Jake Simons, George Swenson, Hunter Tidwell, and Kevin Wang.

 

These boys scored in the 99th percentile on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test/PSAT and join the list of over 800 MBA students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation since 1981.

 

The 21 semifinalists represent 17 percent of the Class of 2013 at MBA. The students come from seven different zip codes and 14 different feeder schools, led by The Oak Hill School with four semifinalists.

 

There are approximately 16,000 National Merit Semifinalists across the country chosen from the 1.5 million entrants in the competition. These high school seniors have an opportunity to continue for $34 million in National Merit Scholarships to be awarded in the spring of 2013. About 90 percent of the students selected as Semifinalists are selected as Finalists, and approximately half of that number attains the National Merit Scholar title.
