<p>If you are commended?</p>
<p>From the National Merit site:</p>
<p>"In April following the fall test administration, high-scoring participants from every state are invited to name two colleges or universities to which they would like to be referred by NMSC. In September, these high scorers are notified through their schools that they have qualified as either a Commended Student or Semifinalist."</p>
<p>Thanks jml.</p>
<p>So if you get the invite this April, you know that you have at least made it to commended.</p>
<p>yeah. in april you'll know if you made something. you won't know if it's semi-finalist or commended until september.</p>
