My son’s principal received his finalist letter today in Virginia. We haven’t received the parents letter at home yet.
D19 notified of finalist status today by school administrator in Minnesota! Nothing in the mail at home yet.
@mathlobstermom Thanks for the update! My S is also in MD (MoCo public school). Counselors said they haven’t received anything yet, so hopefully by tomorrow, fingers crossed 
Nothing in MA today
what school we are in Minnetonka, MN, and no notification yet.
I emailed the guidance counselor yesterday and she got back to me today letting me know that the principal had just received the letter he is a finalist. We are in NJ.
We are waiting hear to find out in NY. I don’t think the school will tell my son till later on. They waited on NMSF till announced date & I saw it in our local paper before being told. Hoping you are alright if no letter in Jan has made it to finalist. Good luck all & congrats to those who know…
Still waiting in UT and I don’t feel that there has been enough info on this thread about rejection letters…did they go out in January? I just want to stop worrying about it!
@dpBU23 D received her certificate from school today (DFW area, TX). Hoping you would receive it tomorrow.
thanks @RiceBits good news and congrats to your D!
From Indiana. Got notified by the school today that my son is a finalist!
IL finalist notified at home address. Congrats to all!
S19 received email from GC, he is the finalist. We are in NJ.
Heard from school principal yesterday (Tuesday) in Missouri. Haven’t received letter at home yet. So glad that waiting is over. Now on to waiting for other things…
DD checked with counselor. They have not received them yet. DD was told that we will probably get them in the mail first before she hears anything!! Houston area
Are the letters to homes regular sized letters?
We got principal letter (homeschooled) on Monday and already got student letter today. So the student letters are coming faster than the principal letters. I would suggest it is because the student letters are regular letter sized mail. I bet a lot of you will get yours today or tomorrow
S19 found out at school yesterday - New York.
I can see a letter in informed delivery today - sounds like letter sized is still good news! I’m so used to small envelope = bad news! In Carolinas.
I emailed principal yesterday and he said he received it LAST WEEK and was sorry he hadn’t let them know. She is a finalist so she can finish her FUN form and I can talk to Idaho financial aid. They act like this doesn’t impact them at all. We only had three Semifinalists this year which he seemed embarrassed about so had made no big deal about them at all to not bring attention to that.
