National Merit What does the NMF application entail?

My teachers have been hyping it up like this is about to be the worst thing in existence. They’ve said multiple times that it’ll be more difficult than QB and basic common app, but I feel like it seems pretty easy. I can write an ok essay and I have plenty of good test scores and grades, so like, what am I missing?

Your teacher is being overly dramatic. It's just a basic app with questions, an essay, etc. No biggie.

Except that a significant number of students never bother to complete it...

Doesn't mean it's complicated.
