Never got National Merit letter?

Paying for College National Merit Aid
1

<p>I'm a little worried because I scored a 218 on the National Merit (in California, so I should be commended since the cutoff is 201, right?), but I never received anything. I had already put that I'm a Commended on my college apps, however, now I'm getting worried because I never received anything - no letter, no certificate, nothing. My counselor seems unaware that Commended scholars even exist. </p>

<p>What do I do? Do I contact the colleges and tell them I'm not a National Merit commended?</p>

<p>i wouldn’t worry about it. Your school probably misplaced your letter. The cut-off is like 201 for Commended.</p>

<p>The certificate is probably on someone’s desk in the counseling office. But, whether you have it in hand or not, you are definitely National Merit Commended if you really scored a 218 on the test.</p>
