<p>on the card that allows you to report your first choice college, there is a slot for semifinalist id# and selection unit #, but i dont know where to find these. any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>Same. My semifinalist packet is lost in the mists of time, and I want to change my first-choice college from Tufts (to which I ended up not even applying) to UChicago...</p>
<p>sameeeee. i got the finalist thing today and it says their telling swarthmore, and i got rejected, and i want it to be u chicago. how do we change it???</p>
<p>The letter you received notifying you that you are a finalist has your id# and selection unit # on it. If you found out from your school, ask your GC -- I would think he or she could have it as well. You can download the postcard right from the National Merit website. The notification letter tells you how to do it.</p>
<p>do you think the "first choice" has any bearing in the admissions process? i was excited about it at first, but how much can it help if they send notification to the selected school after March 1? Pretty late in the game...I reallllllly hope they take it into account though...</p>
<p>Heyo, just got that notification letter today - I almost threw it away until I realized that the little numbers in the top right-hand corner solved my college-choice-changing problems for me :-p</p>
