<p>AHHHHH I ... was on spring break and I didn't mail it on/before April 04. Will they hate me forever x(</p>

<p>If you don't make it to that round do they not just contact you period?</p>

<p>@stuckinthemuck , assuming that you're a finalist, if you didn't win the $2500 scholarship, you'll still be considered for college sponsered scholarships, so this round technically isn't over. if you were a semifinalist, they should have contacted you regardless of advancing to finalist position or not.</p>

<p>I'm a finalist. When is notification about college scholarships then? I thought first-choice schools reviewed those who selected them by Mar. 31 also?</p>

45

<p>they do two batches of college scholarships, i think. i used to have the notification calendar bookmarked but deleted it. if you search for 'steps for 2007 national merit competition' or something like that, you should see a pdf file on the collegeboard website...</p>

46

<p>does anyone know how I could get my semifinalist ID# and selection unit #? I conveniently forgot to write these down, and I need to change my first choice with yonder yellow postcard. should I just call the agency? has anyone else gone thru this bit yet?</p>

<p>Call with your name, birthday and SSN.</p>

<p>Guys, I was so busy the last couple of weeks (Whole month, actually) that I forgot ALL about National Merit Scholarships! :(</p>

<p>I got a mail saying I got the $2500 scholarship a while ago, but still didn't respond to it.</p>

<p>Sigh.... Does anyone know if I'm still eligible to accept the scholarship?</p>

<p>Will they just take the scholarship and give it to someone else?</p>

<p>Someone please help me out here</p>

<p>Okay so I apologize if this was already answered but I got the 2500 dollars even though I reported UChicago as my first choice, and I am going there for sure, but I want their 1000/year = 4000 over four years instead…so does the fact that they already offered me a National Merit Scholarship from the corporation and not a college sponsored scholarship make it impossible for me to take the college-sponsored 4000?</p>

<p>Call NMCorp…sometimes they’ll let you take theirs for one year, and the $1k/yr for the other 3 years. But, call to see…</p>
