****UNOFFICIAL Class of 2015 National Merit Finalist Thread****

NBHS (New Braunfels, TX) got the confirmation letter yesterday. The school has only one NMF.

congratulation @kumar157 and @Nebraskared !!! awesome for you!

I got my finalist certificate from the guidance office today in Delaware!

Thanks, I will pass your comments on to my son.

We are 80304 in CO, and still no word.

When my son got semi-finalist, it got a shout-out tweet from the principal. I would welcome a little recognition from the school for this award, especially since the school has been falling all over themselves recognizing the state champion soccer team for the last three months.

Here’s to hoping that @GoAskDad and anyone else still waiting gets notification today!

Let’s hurry up and announce ALL of the finalists! I’ve got a job I need to start paying attention to.

Just made it official in Georgia! Best wishes to those still waiting.

@soccermom12 Okay, good! As long as he likes the baptist aspect. It has gotten a lot looser in its religious affiliation, and it has some very strong programs. Waco is a pretty small town, though, and to anywhere interesting, he will have to drive. Which, as a parent, is probably good news!

Finally, finally, finally!!! Certificate here in Alabama. I still can’t breathe…

Emailed the GC at my son’s school in Maine this morning and she replied back that they received his Finalist certificate! So excited!! University of Central Florida with full scholarship is a strong contender now!

Congratulations to all our new NMFs! Wow, the floodgates have really opened.

The only good news here is that Taylor Swift has just signed on to record my single, “Jimmie, Why Ya Keep Me Waitin’?” Aside from that, nothing promising.

Has anybody else tried the Girl Scout Lemonade cookies? They’re pretty good. Here, have some…

@GoAskDad Taylor Swift? Don’t tell me you consider her country anymore. I have “why ya keep me waitin’ why ya keep me waitin’” to the same tune as “Welcome to New York” running through my head now.

So would it be possible to call National Merit to find out Finalist status? I don’t trust my school to tell us anything.

@thetamlyone‌ …CONGRATS!!! Hope we get the same kind of news today!!!

You can try it, @thanksagain. The worst they can say is we can’t tell you.

I don’t remember who asked about University of Miami but I just spoke with their financial office. The FIS does not void the pres scholarship. It basically gets added to it but the president scholarship can be adjusted. It all depends on how much you get for COA from the FIS. So, that is good news in my book.

@bamagirls
Did you get a regular letter in mail or notification through school? We are in GA too.

Finally official…school posted the list of NMFs on the district website!
