Congratulations to Mina Kim '26, Thomas Dickson ’26, and Liam Kimmerle ’26, who were named National Merit Finalists this year, a recognition achieved by only around 15,000 students nationwide!

After qualifying as semi-finalists based on the PSAT taken in their junior year, all completed an application including an essay, academic and activity information, and a school recommendation. This fall, Mina will attend Columbia University to pursue political science; Thomas will matriculate at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, where he will study chemistry; and Liam will enroll at UCLA to study biochemistry.
