Homeschooler in Indiana–NOTHING in the mailbox today.
Homeschooler in FL - nothing! 8-|
Sheesh, are we going to gave to wait until next week? The mail has never gone so slowly!
PA homeschooler update-- nothing today.
(sorry if this information has been said already.)
I got an email from the National Merit coordinator at UCF that said Finalists are usually informed by March. Late January—early February is when those that DIDN’T make the cut are notified. So finalists shouldn’t expect to be informed anytime soon.
Of course, hearing about this February 9 date is making me excited. I hope you folks are right!
Okay, I waded through that infinitely long thread back in September, and was able to locate where both @luvmygirls and @pasoccermom were notified on September 2nd, which was exactly one week after the alleged mailing. My own principal notified us the 3rd, which was only a day later. So I think there is great hope for Monday notification. The cheapskate, penny pinching pony express just moves a bit more slowly than first class. Patience everyone, the end is certainly within sight!
My data above is all from PA, which I remember being a bit early in the big scheme of things, but this week should be fun!
This all assumes the February 2nd mailing, which could just be Stan’s idea of a good joke, but I’m not reading @thanksagain’s post!
This appears to be the very first sighting, which again was exactly one week after alleged mailings began.

Home schooled Albert in New Mexico here - I got my letter!!! I’m a FINALIST!!! YAY!!! You should be getting yours soon!
WSU, here I come!
And don’t ask me how I got a letter before the Chicago folks - I have NO idea.
WOOHOO!!! Congrats @albert69! We have our first letter, and it couldn’t have come to a nicer kid. Super proud of you, and best wishes. And may the mailing floodgates open.
(In Albert’s honor I just ate another mini York Peppermint Patty. The first 3 were frustration, but that last one was surely celebratory!)
Thank you, @PAMom21.
@albert69 You started this thread & you found out first - that’s the way it should be. Congratulations!!! Best of Luck at WSU!!!
@LMHS73 Haha, thanks. I guess every CC NMSF or parent on here will race to create their own thread next year? 
Made my day. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving kid. Aerospace industry is lucky to have you.
AWESOME! Congrats @albert69 Best wishes for all your endeavors! We used to homeschool (until 4 years ago) and so I can respect that category, you must have worked very hard in your homeschool journey!
Congratulations @albert69 ! That means our school should have it on Monday, along with everyone else hopefully. Very likely we will get the letter at home before we are informed by the school. We might get the home letter before we leave for next weekend’s college visit though!
Congratulations, albert69!! The end is in sight for all of us!!
Congrats, albert69! Nothing here in AL. Alas! The wait til Monday begins…
Congratulations Albert from a fellow New Mexican!
Congratulations @albert69
No letter in Nevada!
Congratulations @albert69! That’s great, great news!
Hmm, did you slip something to Jimmie the intern to get that letter before everyone else?
So happy for you!
