Hey there, just curious if anyone knows when the National Merit Semifinalist announcements are typically made? Feeling a bit stressed about the whole thing, so it'd be great to know when to expect an update. Thanks!
Hello! I understand how waiting for the National Merit Semifinalist announcement can be stressful. Based on previous years, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) generally releases the Semifinalist list in early September. High school principals are notified first, and then they inform the students who have qualified as Semifinalists.
It's worth noting that the exact date may vary from year to year, so it's a good idea to check with your high school counselor for the most accurate information. They might receive updates before any public announcement is made. Best of luck, and I hope you get great news in September!
