Agree. It doesn't make sense why the College Board doesn't just electronically notify the kids directly.
They do.
When PSAT scores come out the year before on Collage Board, you can look up how to calculate the index score that National Merit Scholar derives to make the decisions. When the decision for what the index for 1% and 3% is decided on for all states, it is public ally published and has the info by state.
I guarantee every single parent in TJ knew exactly where there kid stood long before the certificates happened.
