<p>I would be incredibly surprised if you didn’t get in. You’ll most likely get into the honors program too. Two more days until we know for sure though!</p>

3

<p>I agree with the above poster ^^^
Definitely think you have a good shot!</p>

4

<p>If you are NM, you are guaranteed Honors if you get Finalist (and I see no reason why you wouldn’t make finalist). And I see absolutely no reason you wouldn’t be accepted.</p>

5

<p>Only way you aren’t getting in is if they put your application in the wrong pile.</p>

<p>thanks for the replies all, really hoping I can get into the Honors Program right away instead of waiting for the NMF stuff to get sorted out.</p>

<p>You still look like a very strong candidate for honors even without national merit.
Don’t worry about it, though.</p>
