<p>Are we supposed to let colleges know that we're a National Merit finalist, or do they automatically find out? Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I don’t think they automatically find out- unless you made them your first choice on the NMF application. My councilor in included my NMF status in her midyear report. If that didn’t happen for you, you could always send them an email, but I’m not sure how much of a difference that would make.</p>
