<p>This is a similar question to above.. but still trying to decide how to best handle the situation. DS was named as a NMF (yay!). He put "undecided" on his original application, so I am unclear if the schools will be notified of his NMF status, or if we should contact them. Midyear grades have already gone in.</p>
<p>No schools will be notified unless you listed a "sponsor" school on your form. You can still list a name of a college by contacting National Merit corp. The deadline date is May 1st. I would do it sooner.</p>
<p>didgeridoo08- My counselor told me that they had found my paperwork in the mail. Good luck if you're still waiting.</p>
<p>Congrats to all the finalists so far! Were all the people notified so far told through their school? Or have people received mail at home as well?</p>
<p>I didn't get anything in the mail today, but I asked my counselor if she had received word, and she said I'm a finalist.</p>
<p>I have not received anything in the mail yet. I did get a certificate from my Principal yesterday at school stating that I was a finalist.</p>
<p>Daughter received finalist notice from school counselor. Have not received anything in the mail.</p>
<p>S received word from Principal at school event along with three others. No letter as of Saturday. Think they were supposed to be sent out Feb. 8th according to NM website.</p>
<p>Daughter received her finalist notice today.</p>
<p>Got my NMF confirmation in the mail today...wish this mattered more to the schools I'm applying to.</p>
<p>I got the finalist letter in the mail today, too. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Got my letter!!!! Good luck to all still waiting.</p>
<p>Neither my daughter's school nor us at home have heard as of 2/16 about Finalist status -- that seems to be 2 weeks after others have heard. Seems kind of strange -- we are in CA</p>
<p>call them ASAP</p>
<p>fracto, the notification shall have already come by regular mail. So call them soon.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice -- called and they are going to send a duplicate letter since she did make finalist status. The school also was sent a letter -- they told me to have them look in the principal's office because that is where it is addressed -- so the school is on a hunt and might need to call for a duplicate as well if they can't find it. </p>
<p>Appreciate the suggestion to call . Without reading CC would not have known we should have heard by now.</p>
