Do pass/fail grades matter on National Merit Application?

My son was homeschooled for one semester of high school, and the school’s policy is to not accept grades from homeschooled students. Each class he earned a credit for during that time was a “pass” on his transcript. Will this be a problem on his finalist application?

It shouldn’t be as long as they are all “pass” my D16 did off campus PE and it was a P/F grade and it didn’t stop her from making NMF.

Thank you!
