<p>When do we get notified if we are a semifinalist or not?</p>
<p>Semifinalists were notified Sept 12th.</p>
<p>Usually September of the year after you take the PSAT. If you take the PSAT this week you will not be notified of your Semifinalist status until sometime in September 2008.</p>
<p>You can be pretty sure you make it if you beat the past year's cutoff by 5 points.</p>
<p>Otherwise you have to wait with a year of anxiousness.</p>
<p>Here's the timeline:
October, 2007 - take PSAT
December, 2007-January, 2008 - receive scores from school
May, 2008 - NM will mail letters letting you know you are at least commended
Late August/early September, 2008 - HS will notify you if you are semifinalist
Last September - HS will notify you if you are commended
January/February, 2009 - notification of finalist status mailed
March, 2009 - letters mailed notifying of NM-sponsored scholarships
April, 2009 - letters mailed notifying of corporate NM scholarships
around May, 2009 - letters mailed notifying of college-sponsored scholarships</p>
