I do not know about the musical theater aspect of your question, but I may be able to help with the NM part. My D was a National Merit Scholar (awarded one of the $2500 NM based scholarships) and we were told (by someone at NM) that she needed to have A - as in Any - school listed as her first choice by that first deadline, if she wanted to be “in the running” for this company based scholarship. If no college was listed, or undecided was listed, she would not even be considered for the National Merit Corporation’s award.

Her choice could change up until the end of April, if she hadn’t received NM Scholar, for consideration of any scholarships from the colleges themselves by notifying NM (by postcard) of the change.
