<p>In reality, while some students were notified (privately) that they had achieved NMSF status in late August, they were not given the information to access the National Merit website until September 12th or thereabouts. I may be wrong, but I don’t think they were even able to start working on their applications until then.</p>
<p>Not that your situation doesn’t stink - it does. Hope this makes it a little less aggravating for you.</p>
<p>Keeping my fingers crossed tightly that our school gets everything submitted also!!!</p>
