CAMom Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Just wondering.:) My guess is that my son missed the cutoff by one point but haven't heard anything about California yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriMI Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) My son got his Monday. It could be that the NMSC mailings are sent in batches at different times. Maybe you all could still get one. Edited September 4, 2010 by TerriKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April in CA Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hi CA Mom, Last year, we got word about NM info in early Sept - it actually came to the administrator of our umbrella school. Hopefully you will hear very soon. Can I ask what your son's score was? My DS #2 is taking the PSAT this Oct and hoping to follow in DS #1's footsteps. I am curious about this year's scores and cut offs. I hope your son makes it! Blessings, April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't go to our administrator. He took the test at a Christian school and the only address he gave was our own. So, if he was going to get a packet it should have come here. Supposedly they mailed them out on the 24th or 25th. Terri, congratulations to your son!:) I think I may have made a mistake by asking and I'm sorry. I've come to find out that the cover letter that comes with the packet tells people not to share the information until September 15th (or there abouts). Since we've never gotten a packet, I didn't know the rules.:) Sorry if I offended anyone by the question!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in CA Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 My son got a 232 but we haven't heard anything. Plus we moved over the summer so I hope it's not due to address/forwarding issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maura in NY Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ds got his packet about 2 weeks ago (in NY). You can check collegeconfidential.com to get a pretty accurate idea about the state cut-offs. If you think your child should have received a packet and hasn't by now, and if there isn't any school or other organization it would be coming through, I would call National Merit Scholarship Corp. to check. The 9/15 "hush" date is more about publicizing names -- That's when they are released to the press. Maura in NY (proud mama) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
