<p>When an how did the notification occur last year?</p>
<p>*Finalists
In February, some 15,000 Semifinalists are notified by mail at their home addresses that they have advanced to Finalist standing. High school principals are notified and provided with a certificate to present to each Finalist.

<p>No hard date on the website…sometime in Feb.</p>
<p>Last year, there were posts on Feb 7th of notification of NMF status.</p>
<p>Don’t they send out letters notifying semifinalists who didn’t make finalist sometime in January?</p>
<p>Yes…it’s very likely that the rejection letters were mailed last Friday (two days ago). They’re usually mailed around that time.</p>
