<p>Am I correct in understanding that the letter contains information needed to apply for finalist? I know my score will get me into semifinalists, but I haven’t got any letters yet, and my school seems a bit slow to get these things sorted out. When I go to the online application, it requires a temporary username and password that I assume are in the letter. If I never do get my letter, or it gets lost somewhere (I live overseas, so it’s could happen), does anyone know what can I do to get this information?</p>
