If you were a NMSF in your state but weren’t contacted by either the NM Foundation or your high school, my advice would be for you or your parent to call the foundation asap and find out if there is anything you can do at this point. If they could FAX you an application and the materials for your school, you could get them your essay, transcript, and hopefully your GC’s recommendation and form, along with informal copy of your SAT results (while the official one is on its way) overnight. And if the reason you didn’t do the paperwork on time is the result of a mistake either at their office or at your school, perhaps this 11th hour catch-up would work? They are actually very nice and helpful, and will understand how significant NMF is for a student who is applying to USC. This is their website, which includes their phone number and a lot of other information: [National Merit Scholarship Corporation](http://www.nationalmerit.org/)
