<p>Pls let us know if you hear anything…</p>
<p>There is a thread on the Scholarship category in National Merit Scholarships. Someone there is using data to predict cut-off changes.</p>
<p>Commended and above (~200+) get notifications soon, like this week. It’s through the school, so things may be slooow.
NMSF (depends on your state) get notifications in September. So the cut-off won’t be known until then.</p>
