Anyone gotten a packet for National Merit?


Recommended Posts

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

Hi April,

 

I'm virtually positive that the cutoff is 218 for this year. My son got a 217. 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!:)

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.
