National Merit Finalist (Class of 2019) - rejection/acceptance letter

no word in arkansas yet!

No word yet in Indiana.

Nothing in NJ. I think I read somewhere that they will snail-mail letters to principals today, with expectation they’ll get them by Friday. Similarly, they’ll snail-mail Monday to our kids, with the expectation they’ll get the letters by Friday.

More waiting…

Assuming there is no more delay due to weather, we should start hearing the news tomorrow (based on last year thread).

@81223mom From what I remember from last year’s thread, homeschoolers might not see it on informed delivery because their envelopes are big (like the school’s). But some areas do scan big envelopes into informed delivery, so DO keep us informed!

Nothing in AR - and our principal invited our 9 semifinalists to lunch today, so we were sure they would find out then. But no - it was just a nice appreciation lunch!

Well, nothing on informed delivery this morning but Reebtoor, thanks for keeping my hopes alive! I just signed up for ID, so I dont know if they scan big envelopes or not. I will let you all know! And just an aside since I did all of the research when my daughter was a NMF in 2015, you’re probably all fine if you sent all of the stuff in and there isn’t anything glaring on your app. I think there are quite a few who dont even mess with turning the materials in because they’re going Ivy or whatever. That, combined with those who can’t or dont get a SAT score that works in time, probably makes up for almost all of that 1000 so dont worry!!! I am only worried because my son went to Europe on pro soccer trials for two years and did his last two years in one online. over there The admissions director at our university here said the NM office doesn’t like nontraditional situations and might not convert him because of it. I bet the rest of you are fine – especially if you’re on this site!!! You’ve done your homework! !!

Very strange that NMC posted that schools were being mailed on the 4th and nothing has come up yet. I hope we hear soon.

@prouddad2020 I think we’ll start hearing today. The homeschooler contingent might even get letters tomorrow since they don’t need to wait for schools to pass them along. Today or Monday for schools to start to notify kids. Although, based on last year’s thread, some kids got their letters at home before ever hearing from the school.

All Quiet in Maryland. Havent heard anything yet.

I remember these days, good luck to all. I know the wait is killing you , but its worth it. A shameless plug as well for the Florida schools, full rides at great universities. My daughter is loving UCF.

Finally wait is over. Today during lunch time, Director of College Counseling, met my daughter and informed that she is one of the finalist. We are in Columbus (OH), and she attends private school.

@IvyHope2019 is the winner of 1st post re: receipt of letter!

Thank you @Reebtoor

Congratulations, @IvyHope2019!

Still waiting in Florida. Also waiting for UF’s decision today. So anxious!

Congrats @IvyHope2019! Good luck @kdnmom! Seems like the rest of us might have to wait until next week…

After seeing the post from @IvyHope2019 my son checked with the counseling office at his school, and they still have not received anything. So, it looks like next week. :-/ He’s also waiting for the UF decision @kdnmom. Waiting is tough!

We are waiting on UF decision today also. Was hoping we would get double good news and get NMF letter also. Waiting is so hard! We are in WI.

Good luck @Mamareeb

No news here in Missouri! Probably next week…
