When will the 2024 NMSFs be announced?

I have two seniors with PSAT cutoff scores of 224/228 and 227/228, so there is no doubt they’ll be National Merit Semifinalists. What I’d like to know is when the NMSFs will be announced. They’re holding off sending in college applications so they can officially claim that status.

Thanks in advance.

Last year letters went out to schools the last week of August or the first week of September. Some schools told the kids right away, and other schools held the info until later in September.

However, you should know the official cut off for your state by the end of the first week of September, so you should be clear to report them on applications, even if the school has not passed along the notice, in my opinion.
