<p>Has anyone heard from National Merit/Achievement/Hispanic Scholars yet? I believe they said they would begin notifying finalists in late January.</p>
<p>National Hispanic Scholars were notified in early October or November I believe. At least thats when they notified me that I was a Scholar and not Commended.</p>
<p>I do believe, though, that Nat'l Achievement comes out later around the time National Merit Finalists are notified.</p>
<p>National Merit comes out in...February? March? I think.</p>
<p>On the Semifinalist packet, they said Finalists will be announced in February.</p>
<p>Students who did NOT advance from semi-finalist to finalist were sent letters from NMSC about 10 days ago. So if you haven't heard anything yet, you probably made it to Finalist status and will be notified later this month.</p>
<p>I'm a National Achievement Finalist!</p>
<p>The National Achievement Finalists found out today.</p>
<p>our school has not yet received the info. there is no possible way that none of the students were selected for finalist as their records are outstanding. so for those of you out there who are feeling scared...dont worry...it may not have arrived yet for your school.</p>
<p>Do National Merit Finalist notifications go to home or school?</p>
<p>I'm an achievement finalist! wooo!</p>
<p>congrats! :)
Catgirl-- I'm pretty sure Nat'l Merit Finalists get notifications sent to their home, but I could be wrong. I really hope they're sent directly to us, though, because the semifinalist packet was lost at my school, and they finally gave it to us like a week before it was due.</p>
<p>They send notification letters to both your school (Feb 2) and your home (Feb 9). The decisions should have been mailed to schools yesterday...</p>
<p>anyone hear about National Merit Finalist this week?</p>
<p>"They send notification letters to both your school (Feb 2) and your home (Feb 9). "</p>
<p>Where did you hear this, warblersrule86?</p>
<p>havent got anything yet :-X</p>
<p>National Achievement Finalist right here!</p>
<p>On the yellow sheet, "Requirements and Instructions for Semifinalists," that came in the NMSQT packet has a calendar on the back.</p>
<p>"Feb 2-NMSC mails notification to high school principals about the status of their Semifinalists: A Certificate of Merit is provided for each Semifinalist who qualifies as a Finalist.
Feb 9-NMSC notifies Finalists of their status at their home addresses."</p>
<p>My son's hs said they would contact him as soon as they heard. They have not contacted him yet. They must be running a little late.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone. :-D</p>

<p>And from the National Merit website:</p>
<p>"In February, some 15,000 Semifinalists will be notified by mail at their home addresses that they have advanced to Finalist standing. High school principals will be notified and provided with a certificate to present to each Finalist."</p>
<p>So hopefully soon? Feb. 9th sounds good....</p>
<p>It said on the paper that Semi-Finalists that do not advance to the Finalist standing are notified in January. January being over, we can have hope! Does anyone know which Corp. Scholarships are offered for those who live in areas where the corp. has offices?</p>
<p>Does NMSC release the names of finalists to colleges for consideration in admissions decisions?</p>
