<p>So… Anyone hear anything from either your school or the mail?</p>
<p><em>crickets</em></p>
<p>haven’t heard from either about commended yet</p>
<p>Nothing yet in South Jersey.</p>
<p>Nothing in Northern VA yet either. Askes guidance counselor and no word back yet.</p>
<p>Received the letter at home today (SW PA). It’s dated April 16.</p>
<p>Nothing in CA, thought someone called and said letters were sent to schools?</p>
<p>DD2 also received her letter at home today (SE WI). Letter is dated April 16.</p>
<p>Also in PA and was notified today…The schools were sent the information on 4/10 as to which of their students advanced. Our guidance counselor still claims they don’t have anything and wont’ get anything until the fall??? I called the National Merit directly and they are the ones who told me that the schools get notified first(last week) and that letters were sent to the kids this week who were considered high scorers and were still in the competition. Within the letters being sent to the kids is a form to fill out where you can choose 2 schools that NM will notify of your standing in the fall.</p>
<p>clapuma I can’t deal with the pressure anymore! I live in Illinois and scored a 217. Can you please tell me how things are looking for me as far as my chances of making NMSF are concerned based my state’s data? Thank you very much!</p>
<p>The school notification is not a paper form anymore, just an online user ID and password.</p>
<p>Received a letter in the mail today at my home, dated April 16th. Michigan</p>
<p>jeffreycoleman -
IL was 216 last year I believe - for Finalist. Scores vary every year,
can be + or - 2 points.
You are safe for Commended.</p>
<p>Still no word in Maryland and guidance counselor had no idea what son was talking about when he asked last week.</p>
<p>Just got home… got our letter today. ( IL) :)</p>
<p>Idavis where in Illinois are you if I may ask?</p>
<p>Northern IL… letter comes from Evanston.</p>
<p>Got mine today. Basically certain I’m not NMSF, I only have a 215 in CA.</p>
<p>Does it really matter who my top 2 choices are? Am I going to get anything or just get on another mailing list or two?</p>
<p>same as everyone else…in Arizona here and got the letter today, dated April 16th.</p>
<p>I’m not the best at waiting…hope it comes tomorrow.</p>
