Crickets in San Diego. Called my D’s GC and she said they had not received the letters yet.
DD’s school just informed her, its official now!! so happy for her!!!
NMF in Louisiana! Delivered to school yesterday.
@sewin2music you raise a great point! There IS an official NMF release date, but I’m not sure what that date is this year. On that date, one can indeed call NMSC to see if one’s DC is an NMF. At least that’s what I seem to recall from a few years ago.
Does anyone here know if this is true? I know, I know “Google is my friend” but I am feeling particularly lazy today - and also frantic looking at our schedule for the day!
Nothing yet here (large public in a Houston suburb). The school always publicizes NMF in the newsletter so I’m sure that will happen next week sometime. Really, S just needs a letter or certificate or some other NMF evidence to get his automatic honors college entry processed. So even though he knows he is NMF, he just needs that paper to prove it. Next week, one way or another he’ll have that hard copy proof.
As a “bubble parent” I seriously cannot take much more of this. I just keep picturing the rejection letter sitting in a stack of mail at my neighbor’s house.
@Emory85 I’m with you! I am a “bubble parent” as well. I can now convince myself that my son got the rejection letter but I thought it was another solicitation from some National Honor group and just tossed it. Ugh. Just want to know! Checked with our principal yesterday and he hadn’t received anything as of yesterday.
I simply cannot understand why this cannot be done via email or by signing into our account and seeing the results that way. It seems that would be so much more efficient—and less painful for is all!
I agree Deedee
Bubble Parents, I’m definitely thinking of you! My older DS was on the bubble ALL the way through the process…AND we have notoriously bad mail delivery! It was something like 14 months of sheer torture…but DS did make it all the way to NMF in 2015. Hopefully you will know in a few more days, but I know the waiting is not easy.
Made it! Received the mail yesterday in Colorado.
@ColoSky are you a home-school parent or did your DC actually get a letter from NMSC in the mail?
@GoAskDad Homeschool parent
Nothing in Northeast PA on Friday.
Call from the principal tonight with the news. What a huge relief for our family!
Son was just notified from HS that he is a finalist. We are in Jacksonville FL. He was on the bubble because he had a semester C in IB Math HL (Basically IB CALC) but his final grade was a B. Adding this info for those going through this next year.
@wkortright - what were his SAT scores? I am so worried. I hope we hear today from my son’s HS. As of Friday, the principal hadn’t gotten anything. This has been killing me.
@susan123 I believe his SAT was 1450. We weren’t worried about SAT just that 1 semester C.
@wkortright Our son had a semester C+ in AP Lang & Comp so your info was very comforting. I think his SAT was 1550. I have been a mess waiting. NMF status means anywhere from $30-65k for my son’s college choice.
Thank you for sharing, Good to know that students can become NMF if they have a C. I was concerned because my DD got one C in Algebra during the second semester of her freshman year. The OU admission’s counselor, told us that in order to become a NMF, one of the requirements was to never have gotten a C.
