My son left high school early (did not graduate) and went to MIT at the end of his junior year. You must be a junior for NMSC. However, about 100 finalists each year hear from National Merit during their freshman year of college (according to the NMSC when I called them about my son’s case), so it is neither a big deal or uncommon for students to do that.

I am all in favor of students who have maxxed out the possibilities at their high school moving on to college.
