Is the reply form due to the NASP office by March 11th, or does it just need to be postmarked by then? I don't want to reply too early b/c I'm waiting to see if I'm a Nat'l Merit Scholar.

co10: I got a 210 PSAT, so I was a National Merit Commended too. Anyway, you'll need strong grades to ensure you actually get money( I've only heard that I'm a finalist, but not a scholar and winner of money)
Congrats to the rest of you though!

Mine was 197 and i am from Texas, remember it is still regionally based for National Achievement as well.

Hard to tell you'll see, but you can call national merit and ask.

I think (I'm not certain) that I had a 211 (so I was also Commended for Nat'l Merit)

And you'llsee, I'm really not sure, but I'd assume it was a received by date just to be safe.

I got a 228.

@you'llsee: If you end up being a National Merit Scholar as well, won't you be able to use only one of the $2500 scholarships? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this is the case I think you should just send it in. It couldn't hurt.

P.S. Oh snap, today's the 11th. Ah well.

@inconspicuous: Thanks!

i got a 188 or something. just high enough to put me in the running, but my grades are fantastic and my application is pretty attractive, despite my less than stellar standardized test scores haha (i got the 2500). dont lose hope if your score isnt outstanding.
