<p>what about 204??</p>
<p>Where do you live?</p>
<p>this might sound kind of dumb but what exactly is the national merit award and is it derived from your PSAT or SAT score?</p>
<p>Illinois. 204 for commended :(. I will be ****ed if I don't make it. This year's psat did not treat me very well.</p>
<p>Actually, some letters are being mailed. My daughter got one yesterday (no, she is not home schooled). I have no idea why some go through schools and some go through the mail. Her school is quite large, and maybe the staff didn't want to go to the trouble of distributing letters?</p>
<p>On my PSAT, I chose to not have them send me information about colleges cause I didn't want to get stacked w/letters; in retrospect, that was kinda dumb. Would that change anything?</p>
<p>Well you wont get mail from alot of colleges... some of them are actually pretty useful (as in from good Universities).</p>
<p>As per the message before the one before this (:P), my school is quite large as well (over 3000 people, largest in the state) and we got it through the school, so I dont kno...</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Interestingly, CB website says you will be notified of commended/whatever status in fall of senior year..</p>
<p>It does, it means you will be notified as to which category you fall under: commended or semi-finalist. This letter is just to notify the people in these two categories that they ARE in the top 50,000 (Commended + Semi).</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Well I hope they're not giving them out at school, because most of my d's high school burned down today. Does anybody know for sure if they'll be mailed or given out at school?</p>
<p>Woah... What happened?</p>
<p>what? where do you live? btw I'm sorry about your school</p>
<p>Hope, Arkansas. Apparently somebody broke in last night/early morning and set the fire(s). Got the library and major portions of computer center. btw, yes, I'm a Mom as if you can't tell from my correspondence.</p>
<p>Wow, thats too bad. Im sure that the school will notify NMC if the letters were destroyed and they'll give you new ones. Tsk Tsk... burning down schools... what an idiot...</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Swmbo, So sorry to hear about your daughter's school. It makes one realize that there are much more important things to worry about in the world besides SAT's. Please know how sorry I am for both you and her.</p>
<p>wish it was my school</p>
<p>juuuuuust kidding, sorry btw, hope everything turns out allright in hope</p>
<p>About the citizenship thing- There's a guy at my school who is Canadian and got a 229, I think all he had to do was prove that he had a green card or something of that sort.</p>
<p>215 (99 percentile i think) and still waiting...but our guidance office is never good with this stuff</p>
<p>I only got a 228 :(</p>
<p>No letters or anything thus far, though.</p>
