ThinkOn, Thank you. I did not scroll down far enough. Where is the BA list? They should do very well given the difficulty of getting accepted.
@3boys4m3 The school is located in Hackensack, so it’s under that city. I don’t even live in NJ, but my niece attends the school and so was following.
@kindablue Schools were notified a week or two ago. You have to get your info from the school. You can call the National Merit people and they should be able to tell you who to talk to at your school.
@Reebtoor Thanks! I saw my name on a list online but I wasn’t sure if my school would notify me or not.
@kindablue On Monday, go ask your school counselor if they have the NMSF letter for you. If they don’t, the principal might still have it. You need that for your login information. The application is due October 10th, so you will probably want to get started on it in the next week or so since there is a short essay required. Good luck!
If your school doesn’t have the letter, the NMSC phone number is 1-847-866-5100.
They have been very nice and helpful any time we’ve had a question.
@Reebtoor Thanks for your help!!
@chercheur Thanks for the info!

Anyone have Utah? Thanks.
anybody have access to a washigton DC list?
My daughter’s school is telling her that the list isn’t out yet, although we know from this group and from the next city over that this information is out. Any idea who we can go to so my daughter can start on her paperwork. We know her score is over the cutoff for VA.
@capsn Did you bring in copies of some of the lists from other states or from elsewhere in VA? Did you call the National Merit folks, explain the situation, and ask who the contact person is at your school? I’d try both tactics simultaneously.
Does your daughter’s school not usually have any NMSF? The other possibility is that the envelope with the bright green sticker is buried on someone’s desk (usually the principal’s). National Merit folks should be able to tell you who the envelope was addressed to. The NMSC phone number is 1-847-866-5100. I’d tell the first person to answer the phone at NMSC that you need the semifinalist application help department (or something like that). They’ll transfer your call to the right people. They are super helpful. (I’ve already called twice!)
Thanks. All of your suggestions were on my plan for tomorrow. At this point I figured I would just call the NMSF tomorrow morning and avoid the incompetence that we are running into at her high school. I was just searching for the phone number so that too was also great help! She attends an IB school that usually has a good number of semi-finalists so you would think the school would know the information was released on the 12th and you would think the there would be other student’s asking the same question. Hopefully I get somewhere tomorrow so she can begin her application process and essay. Thanks again.
Does anyone have a Cleveland area list? Our daughter was fortunate enough to qualify, and I have received several messages congratulating her from parents who have kids attending other high schools. Our school made an announcement but many others have not. I have been waiting for one of the local papers to publish a comprhensive list, but have not seen one yet.
Cleveland.com usually has a list out the same week as the announcements. They’re slow this year, but I guess I didn’t need to tell you that.
My son was notified by his principal he is a Semifinalist as well. We live in northeast Ohio and have been looking for an Ohio list with no luck. I’m aware the NMSC sent out press releases last week but nothing has been mentioned in any of our local publications.
