Why do so many professors list "National Merit Semifinalist" on their CVs?
I mean, most of their later accomplishments should easily supersede the NMSF award on their CV.
And I know people with high school achievements better than the NMSF, but who refrain from mentioning them. But yet, they still mention the NMSF on their CVs.
NMSF status is certainly well known throughout the academic community - more famous than other HS awards. Does that probably explain why it's mentioned so often? (why people often mention that and not "AIME Qualifier", for example?)
