<p>So I know that many people have called NMSC to confirm Finalist status. Has anyone been presented their Certificate from their school yet? It was mailed a week earlier (to the HS) than the notices that were mailed yesterday to homes. Congrats to all Finalists! :)>- </p>

<p>Our school’s counselor has the certificate. It hasn’t been presented to my son yet- he was at an academic competition so he was not at school today to receive it. </p>

<p>My son was NMF last year. His school held the certificates until the Senior Awards Ceremony at the end of the year. </p>

<p>I’m a homeschooler in Arkansas. My certificate to the ‘principal’ arrived in the mail today! It’s official.</p>

<p>I think my principal usually holds them until either graduation or end-of-term assembly, but then again, she didn’t give us our Semifinalist letters until three days before the deadline either so for all I know she just forgot about the certificates anyway…
I’m nervous because I didn’t get my letter yet. Did anyone in the New York area get theirs?</p>

<p>My son received his at school today. We live in West Virginia</p>

<p>My son’s certificate arrived today. The Principal showed it to him but will present it at graduation. We are in Texas.</p>

8

<p>Our child is in boarding school. The Head showed the Finalist their certificates, but then said he was mailing them home to parents. I guess he knew odds of them being kept safely until spring break and then brought home were slim to none!</p>

<p>My D and other finalists from her school, along with students who scored high on the ACT, have been invited to the School Board meeting on Thursday for recognition. </p>

<p>Our son hasn’t heard a peep from his school about the certificate. We’re in Colorado and received the letter today. There wasn’t any reason why he wouldn’t get it, but I feel better having seen it.</p>

11

<p>School does all of that at an award ceremony about a week or so prior to graduation.</p>

12

<p>School Board meeting was last night. She got a Semi-Finalist certificate, and the Principal did announce that the school had just received verification that all 6 Semi-Finalists were now finalists, but they didn’t hand out the Finalist certificate. Maybe at Senior Awards Night? I don’t know.</p>

<p>Daughter was presented certificate yesterday in school. Announcement over PA, and blurb on school website. 5/7 NMSF’s became NMF’s. Still haven’t gotten the letter home yet though here in SoCal!</p>

<p>Daughter was given a pass today to pick up her certificate in the office. The school did send out an email listing the NMFs as one of the topics. 25/26 NMSFs became NMFs.</p>
