<p>The National Merit packet we got, <a href=“http://www.nationalmerit.org/Merit_R&I_Leaflet.pdf[/url]”>http://www.nationalmerit.org/Merit_R&I_Leaflet.pdf</a> , says:</p>
<p>February 2 NMSC mails notification to high school principals about the status of their Semifinalists; a Certificate of Merit is provided for each Semifinalist who qualifies as Finalist</p>
<p>February 9 NMSC notifies Finalists of their status at their home addresses</p>
<p>I’m not sure if the February 9th is a letter, and would therefore arrive later, but they’ll at least mail by then.</p>
