@CorpusChristi Yes, I was referring to listing the #1 school with Nat’l Merit corp. You have until May 1st, or even later like May 31 to pick which school you want. Not until you do that is your Nat’l Merit Scholy final at that school, and they don’t immediately tell you what your whole financial aid package will be until they are listed #1. You have to work a little harder to figure out exact financial aid prior to listing them #1, but you can figure it out with a little effort and comms with fin aid departments. My S ended get NM Scholar, so he gets money from them, on top of whatever schools do. Finalists have a 50/50 chance of that.
