^ lolz Millancad, are you a junior?
If so (and I think you are), you won't be getting a letter until 2010. Sorry bud. Congratulations though!

My principal didn't congratulate me, but I'm still pretty psyched.
Congrats everyone!

I also found out I'm a finalist. Its not as crucial now since I've been accepted ed to dartmouth, but maybe it'll help a little more with financial aid? I dunno, I'm still pumped. | |

With the semi-finalist packet I remember receiving a little card on which you were supposed to write what college you end up going to and send it back to National Achievement. I got in ED but I never actually sent them the card and the finalist letter doesn't say anything about it. Should I still send it in to them?

Got the letter today...it felt so empty.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think the Finalist stage is kind of pointless? I mean, why not just choose the scholars (monetary recipients) from the 1600 semis....is narrowing it down from 1600 to 1300 really that big of a deal? (/rant)
But whatev, congrats to all other NAFs.

I haven't gotten the letter but my dad called!
I wish I had taken the PSAT seriously cause my SAT scores show that I could've made the Merit cutoff for my state. Oh what a naiive junior I was...
