Mational Merit Scholarship - another question

<p>D has applied rd to 8 shcools. Haven't heard from any of them. Three award school funded National Merit Scholarships -the other five do not. She was just going to wait until April - after knowing where she has been admitted - to name a school for NMS purposes. She got a letter yesterday from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation saying that she had not yet listed the college she tentatively plans to attend and requesting an immediate response listing one. Two of the three schools that award school funded scholarships do not care if she just names that school when and if she decides to attend. We don't know about the third. She really doesn't have any idea where she might want to attend if accepted. What shcool should she list?</p>

<p>I had a friend whose college forgot to accept them! She only applied to one, and in my state if you are in the top ten percent of your class, you are automatically admitted to any public university, so she knew that she got in.</p>

<p>She called their Office of Admissions. Do that. How long as it been since D applied?</p>

<p>Just put down a name. You can always change it even after May 1. We changed it 3 times.</p>

<p>Yep, we changed the last time in July.</p>

<p>yeah, i put down any college. if you get the scholarship you can just change the school it is for.</p>
