Also an alternate for Advanced Japanese! Didn't get this far last year, don't really expect to get promoted to finalist, but I'm glad they thought I was almost-there :'). That's all the recognition I needed, and hopefully I'll get it when I apply next year again. I wonder if there are more alternates than finalists...
Changed the 2017 to 2019 in that link to see if it would produce anything...

Rest assured that the current year's rubric does not rely on quantifying anything!
Anyhow, I made it to semifinalist for advanced Japanese
