<p>September 19 NMSC: List of2006 National Merit Program Commended Students mailed to principals</p>

<p>You'll know in May whether or not you are commended - in May, NMSC sends out a letter to the 55,000 highest scorers asking them to name two colleges to be notified of the student's interest and high scores. If you receive this letter you are AT LEAST commended. In early September, the semi-finalists receive a letter telling them they are semi-finalists, then the commended students receive a letter specifically telling them they are commended (usually this letter comes through your high school, so the actual delivery date varies quite a bit).</p>

<p>The cutoff for commended has been going up by a point each of the last 3 years.</p>
