NMF will not hear on admission any earlier than anyone else. In fact, I doubt the status even helps much on admission. Keep in mind a large percentage of applicants will have that status.

All Finalists listing Wash U as their first school get the $2K, which is renewable, though Wash U could change its mind at any time.

If you win one of the $2500 awards from the National Merit competition, Wash U will extend that for the last three years instead of the $2K.

You will not know about the $2500 awards in time to influence admissions decisions. They are known in time to influence selections off the wait list, if Wash U considers that factor.
