<p>I recently was named a semi finalist at my school. I was given a list of schools and had to put my first choice on the aplication. My real first ED choice however was not listed on the list given by the nmsc. What did other people do? Thanks. I only had 24 hrs to turn it around!</p>
<p>You can name any school really for your first choice school on the National Merit. The changing of school choice is very fast and easy; most people do it several times. Personally, I put a school that did not accept the National Merit scholarship and waited until I was more certain of where I was going to change it to my chosen school.</p>
