<p>Has anyone received an official notification from NM yet?</p>
<p>The school I attend released the list of commended students two weeks ago. </p>
<p>._.</p>
<p>I got a letter from NM a loooong time ago.</p>
<p>We got the “you are one of the top 50,000” letter a long time ago (April?). Our school announced the NMSF in a newsletter 2 weeks ago, and we just received the commened certificate TODAY.</p>
<p>My son did not go the photo opp for the commended students but they put his name up on the school website. We had 30 commended and semis from a class of about 425.</p>
<p>If we got the letter in April, but did not respond or do anything with it, are we still classified Commended?</p>
<p>My understanding is that it is only the Semifinalists who needed to do anything further to advance to the next level. As Commended you should not need to respond and are still classified as commended. Are you sure you did not get to the Semifinalist cutoff?</p>
