On the national merit website it says colleges are not notified of national achievement finalist standing. What’s the point in first college choice on the application if this is the case? How do we inform colleges of finalist standing?
You can have your child send a note to the admissions office or representative that he or she has been named a finalist. When your child chooses which school he or she will attend, if they give any $$ for NMF then you need to list that school as the first choice school with the NMC.
