<p>yes.</p>
<p>and i got notified too!</p>
<p>We received the NM Finalist notification in the regular mail today... never heard from school last week because principal was gone and counselor didn't follow up on mail.... But at least we know now!!!!!</p>
<p>Thanks inspiration! I'll do that :)</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone. My mom is super excited :cool:</p>
<p>Any ideas what the significance of "Selection Unit #" is? If anything? (It's on the letter)</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure selection unit doesn't mean anything. </p>
<p>I got my finalist letter today too. I have an UW GPA of 3.46</p>
<p>When do we find out if we get the NM money of 2500?</p>
<p>My S finally got the letter today. I was beginning to wonder, given that some people seem to have been notified over a week ago...</p>
<p>I got my letter at home today too (SoCal).</p>
<p>Still no word from my principal though.... :(
I know a package came from NMSC, so I will go tomorrow and ask my principal for it.</p>
<p>At my kid's school, they downplay the Finalist designation. Having made a huge fuss over the semi kids, they don't want to draw attention to the one every few years who doesn't make the cut. We had to wait for the official letter from NM. If you don't hear, call the guidance office with a "We were wondering because of such and such scholarship at this school he has applied to..."</p>
<p>My D received the letter today. I knew it was going to happen.</p>
<p>D received her letter today, state of PA</p>
<p>DS got his letter yesterday & the school he was accepted by ED is not the one he put down in the original application.
Does he need to update the school name with the ED school (binded)?
Or it doesn't matter at this time?
Thanks in advance, folks</p>
<p>For the person who asked, I think money offers may come out in March.</p>
<p>butte - if he knows he's going there, definitely change the selection and send it in. Even if that college doesn't give NM scholarships, he might be awarded one of the NM sponsored awards of $2500.</p>
<p>hey guys, i got into finalist and am wondering if we have anything to do, like essays, rec. letters, etc. Or do we just sit and wait for the final results to come out??</p>
<p>I think we just sit and wait to see if we win anything. Although you might want to notify your college, especially ones that award money to NMF.</p>
<p>You better check with your schools to see if they want a copy of your letter. Two of mine wanted me to fax the letter, while two said they get notification directly from NM people.</p>
<p>Still haven't heard anything and it's nearly the end of Feb... should I assume I didn't make it or does it just take forever for mailing overseas?</p>
<p>You need to call National Merit and ask ASAP. The notification has been out for a couple weeks. For those that did not make it the notification was out in January.</p>
<p>Has anyone received an award yet?</p>
<p>no. I called NM today and asked if the corporate sponsor (hubby's work) has been named distributed yet and she said no. They are just starting now to send out the offers.</p>
