You are right Mdear–they don’t have anything to do with each other. Furthermore, placement in Honors and receipt of the Prez award don’t really have anything to do with each other, although some students might receive both. That is what we were told today when we talked to the admissions office. The committee that decides honors placements and the committee that decides merit awards don’t communicate, so it is possible to receive honors and not merit, and vice versa. As for NM finalist awards, sounds like GW will let us know in the future (they were vague about when, how and if).
