They qualified by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen.

The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
Go Lancers!
