National Merit Finalist!

<p>O crap, I take that back, you guys are seiniors aren't you?</p>

<p>Hey Eric...btw, I'll be gone thursday and friday. Tennis stuff.</p>

<p>Yes, we're seniors. And I am an increasingly agitated senior, waiting for his notification...
Hey, has anybody been notified that they did NOT make it to finalist? Cause if those notifications were sent out earlier and I haven't gotten one of them, then I guess that would be a good thing...</p>

<p>I found out at school today. Haven't got anything in the mail at home yet. Only finalist/semi/commended at my school. That's an Arizona public school for you.</p>

<p>I got my letter at home, but school hasn't done anything (typical). Anyway, does finalist standing mean anything other than that you are qualified to receive college or company scholarships?</p>

<p>And, what if my parents don't work for any of the companies that were listed? Will I still be considered for some of them. (I know for certain that I am not attending any of the schools listed)</p>

<p>You might be considered for some of the corporate scholarships in your area or if you intend to go into a certain field, but you're ineligible for most.</p>

<p>I got a letter today.</p>
