Mommafrog, you seem to really understand this thing. This kills me - I think I understand it, but then I do not, and it appears that we actually screwed up. Tried to get info from son’s college guidance at achool, but never got a reply.
So we never identified college choice - per you, that means that we have no chance to get 2500 NMSF award?! This does not make sense if you can change college choice to undecided later anyway, and from NMSC site:
“•National Merit® $2500 Scholarships
