<p>I apologize if I sounded accusatory, intparent. Maybe I didn’t understand every detail about National Merit, so thank you for the clarification. I was just trying to explain using my knowledge and experience with the program. However, I did pick up on the fact that your daughter received no money. As I had stated before, it was honestly the first time I had ever heard of this situation. There are likely more students out there in situations such as your daughter’s, but since I have not met any, I couldn’t have known that this situation was possible and I was pointing out that fact by stating “While it might not be sufficient evidence.” I know that Ivy League schools don’t offer National Merit scholarships, and I never said that they did. However, until there is a statistical survey stating that 20% of NMF end up without a dime, I will refrain from agreeing that a large number of students receive no offer of scholarships.</p>
