Just received an email from USF mentioning National Merit but nothing from the high school. 
for some reason, i think it’s just semifinalists, but idk why i think that.
I think commended students are recognized two weeks after NMSF, at least that’s what I remember from our school in the past.
I just checked and my dd’s school does not rank its students. The class size is too small. I wonder if rank means something about the rank of the school itself. Oh well. Pbly not important. Interesting though.
Read my daughter’s name in the paper this morning. Still no word for her at the school!
That’s funny ! Which state are you in ? I am in FL and I think my kid made it but still no word from his school.
@crockett001 that’s funny! No word from my daughter’s school in OH yet. Assuming at this point that we’ll see her name in a publication before the school tells her!
We’re also in OH and expecting the same. Glad it’s not just us.
I’m in Illinois, so the speed of the mail service is definitely suspect.
Read my daughter’s name in the Chicago Tribune yesterday, no word from her school, got the National Merit Email from USF. Maybe her school will say something today 
i called national merit. they are so nice. they confirmed my son is a semi finalist! i cried. feeling relieved.
So, is there any way to get a copy of the list?
My son’s school just brought the semifinalists in and told them…
As @border1812 stated, they are very polite and helpful. The rest of the announcement dates below:

yep, i broke down and called…they were very helpful and answered all my questions.
Thanks to you all, I called as well. They were beyond kind!
In response to the TX parent, some of the schools waited until today - 222 made it. That’s what my son has, we were notified last week.
Still nothing here!
@ebh87 ditto!
