<p>@Ibad96 – When I was in Greenland, I worked with professors at CU-Boulder, and they were extremely knowledgeable and relatable. It is a great school.</p>
<p>Phillyy15 university of alabama?</p>
<p>@HobbitTon that’s great to hear! One of their physics professors was named 2013 U.S. POTY, so that clearly says a lot about the school.</p>
<p>@Ibad96 My dad is friends with a professor at the school, and he’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever spoken to. </p>
<p>Their physics programs are rated highly as well. </p>
<p>Anyone here get a letter from NMSF? Results are pouring in right about now, but don’t worry if you haven’t received a letter yet, as many states have yet to be reported. </p>

<p>@lhs2015 yess</p>
<p>@onlythebest13 nope, but what I am really waiting on is the National Achievement. And you’re right about the posts. They are literally pouring in. Are you a senior? If you don’t mind me asking, what state are you from and what was your PSAT score?</p>
<p>so i have a interview coming up… but its a group interview. The interviewers will be observing us to see our leadership skills but will not really interact with us. Any suggestions on how to stand out in a group of about 100 kids</p>
<p>if you were given an essay on what can you bring to the table… what would you write about?</p>
<p>Is this a college interview?</p>
<p>Started school yesterday and love my schedule. I feel lazy for taking a lighter schedule + taking a few free periods to enjoy myself but whatever. And I am also starting to get my recommendations ready. </p>
<p>Also - I’m on Common App right now just getting some loose ends together so the process is less stressful AND I should waive my right to the letters and everything, right?</p>
<p>Also -sighs- at having to pay to send score reports. So annoying</p>
<p>High School Class of 2015 - I’m sorry to intrude on your thread (it’s a mom here…) but if you have any definitive knowledge of NMSF scores at your schools, would you be so kind as to post them over on the NMSF thread?: <a href=“***Class Of 2015 NMSF Qualifying Scores*** - #1801 by Varanasi - National Merit Scholarships - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/1580340-class-of-2015-nmsf-qualifying-scores-p121.html</a></p>
<p>We have both students and parents anxiously waiting for information and it would be very helpful if you share news with us as you hear it. I will also check back here when I can. Thank you and I hope you all have a great senior year!</p>

<p>Yay! Was informed today that I am a National Merit Semifinalist. Who else got it?</p>
<p>:(( </p>
<p>(I would have been informed last year, but) my PSAT scores were awful, at least compared to my SAT (300 points lower than my SAT) haha. I wish they had something similar to NMS for SAT scores - although, I suppose, the reward is being admitted to a good college…</p>
<p>Lol haven’t been on here in forever. What did I miss.</p>
<p>Normal stuff @animpaffliction </p>
<p>@HobbitTon No its actually for posse scholarship 3 rounds… just had my 1st interview today… 1400 applicants for the state of GA and they are cutting it down in 1/2 for the second round. Im so anxious to hear their reply!!</p>
<p>I’m from Georgia too! I don’t qualify for Posse unfortunately.</p>
<p>I got an envelope from the College Board which I’m assuming contained my national merit stuff, but I threw it to the side and never opened it, and now I can’t find it.</p>
<p>I sense the senioritis coming on. So young to have stopped caring already…</p>
<p>@HobbitTon… Why don’t you qualify? its not need based at all thats the only reason i was able to participate LOL</p>
