Schools that "like" National Merit SFs

Well I was just notified (albeit, unofficially) that I made NMSF, and I was wondering whether there are certain schools that like to “collect” them? I know some schools like to brag about how many national merit scholars they have (for example, Carleton College, a highly ranked liberal arts school), and thus having NMSF on the application must have some weight when applying to them. Does anyone know of any of these schools?

Edit: I do of course realize that national merit does not make or break one’s application, as it is based on one test. I am simply wondering what colleges would give more thought into national merit than other schools.
