fyi- i noticed that last year the dallas morning news published the whole state of texas (pdf) about 430pm on the day of the press release, so maybe they will do that again late this afternoon.
Please post Ohio if you find it. I can’t.
venting…
i emailed our guidance counselor this morning saying that i had called national merit and that my son had qualified as a SF (found out later that he was the only one in the whole school). she replied that she was busy but would try to get the online account set up soon. apparently, she is indeed quite busy because she did not even have the time to type “congratulations.”
bitter here.
@border1218 I’d be so ticked off but remember to “play nice” your kiddo needs her reccommendation.
@border1218 Thanks so much for the Houston list! It doesn’t list all schools. So, don’t despair if your child’s name isn’t on it! (My son’s school isn’t listed and NMF home office told me he and several others from his school qualified.)
@border1218 I hear ya! So, let me type a big old Congratulation for your son! Woo hoo! He’s worked hard and his achievement deserves to be celebrated and honored!
Does anyone have the NC list?? None of the local media in Greensboro has posted a thing!
I wonder if they took the test on October 24th. I’m still curious the impact on that testing date.
We live near Seattle, Washington and no news from the school. They are “very busy” and will “try to get to it by Friday.” Sheesh. No postings in the newspaper yet either. Usually the Seattle Times posts a complete list.
That’s interesting about Lake Travis. Westlake brought it this year! My daughter’s school went down a little percentage-wise.
Anyone have the Illinois list?
Thanks for posting this. We found out on 9/5 that my twins made the cut. All the NMSF were called in to speak with the principal. Then today, they met with their GC who gave them the log in information. I was looking for the list for FL kids but didn’t find anything using Google with the list in the Orlando area or even on the FLDOE web site. I would never have guessed a school in Collier County would have posted the entire list. 
Anyone planning to visit a school that gives a large NM package that you weren’t planning on visiting before?
Congrats to everyone here. My daughter found out last Thursday from her GC. Would someone mind sharing what the email from USF referenced? My daughter did not receive an email from them. Thanks!
No visits planned, unless something is offered that we can’t refuse. We are pretty set on the schools to which dd is applying. UF is one, and we are seriously considering adding FSU, UCF and UA, but the latter 3 will be added after her first group of apps is done.
@BMC9670 would you mind sharing who you spoke with at the OSFA? I just received a reply from them (OSFA@fldoe.org) saying that there are no guarantees and they referred me back to the schools.
Also, does anyone have specific contacts at FSU and UF that would be NMF knowledgeable? I want to avoid running into someone that doesn’t really know the situation but giving a canned response to not have to deal with finding out.
Thank you!
