<p>Just thought it'd be fun to have a running thread of all the Finalists for this year! My principal pulled me aside this morning to give me the good news, and my parents and I are thrilled!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone else who made it!</p>
<p>It was a big relief to hear for real.</p>
<p>Congrats to all!</p>
<p>I know what you mean noimagination.</p>
<p>And I send my congrats as well.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all the finalisits, including my daughter.</p>
<p>I’m finalist. Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>I’m finalist too. Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all, including my DD in the western suburbs of Chicago…</p>
<p>and thank you to all for making this thread fun and supportive!</p>
<p>DS letter came today, although the school (CA public) still has not received their packet.</p>
<p>So proud of him, and happy.</p>
<p>Received her letter in the mail today. I am a very proud mother.</p>
<p>My daughter received her Finalist notification today (we live in NJ). Great relief and celebration! She has not yet been notified by her high school - I don’t know if they have the packet or not.</p>
<p>Hooray to all!</p>
<p>Got my finalist letter in the mail today! Congrats to all finalists!</p>
<p>D. received letter at home today. No word from the school yet, but at this point, who cares. A big sigh of relief. Congrats to all.</p>
<p>Congrats everyone. It’s a great honor and good job!</p>
<p>Congratulations to my fellow National Merit Finalists, and good luck to those in the 2012 NM competition. =)</p>
<p>I’m a finalist! Woohoo! My principal is giving all our school’s NM people free chicken biscuits…yum…Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>Congrats all! </p>
<p>D2 was asking me today how hard it is to get the 2.5k scholarship. I told her that it was much tougher than going from semi to finalist, but not to worry, this was the most important accomplishment as it gets her major scholarships. NMS would be nice, but definitely just icing on the cake.</p>
<p>just got my finalist letter ;]</p>
<p>Congrats to all! D is a finalist & we’ve already faxed the change in #1 school form…</p>
<p>wooo finalists… doesn’t really mean much to me though since i already got the scholarships i need.</p>
<p>D is a finalist! We are so proud!</p>
