Our GC had no knowledge about the letters for sending info to two colleges. I had e-mailed her what I learned here-- thank you fellow CC’ers! --and she said she’d be “on the lookout” for anything from NM.
I then called National Merit, and found out they had been sent to schools on April 10, addressed to the principals. It is a packet containing individual letters in envelopes addressed to qualifying students (commended and above). The school can either mail the letters, or distribute them at school.
After passing this information along to the high school, the packet was miraculously found in the principal’s office, and my son brought his letter home the same day. They said if I hadn’t been calling them and pushing the issue, they probably wouldn’t have met the deadline (May 17). Keep up the good work here!
