<p>I was a commended student this year, but I heard that commended students get to send their score or something to certain colleges? I'm not entirely sure what that is, but is that only for semifinalists or for commended students as well?</p>
<p>Up until last year, students were notified in April that they were in the running for National Merit semi-finalist for the following fall. This included eventual semifinalists and commended students. At that time they were asked to name 2 schools that NMSC would notify of their interest. NMSC has since discontinued this program and it never did involve sending anyone’s scores to a school.</p>
<p>Oh I see, thank you!</p>
