[quote=Anonymous]A student who achieves National Merit Commended is likely to have plenty of other good things to show in their academic record - including, of course, the strong test scores that earned them that status to begin with. If it were my kid not having gotten the letter, yes, I'd be angry and want to take steps to help ensure that this never happened again. But I would not tbh be worried that this specific individual situation had cost them something that they were well positioned to earn (admission to a given school, an award of some kind). There are exceptions to every generalization, though, and given the numbers, there is probably someone out there who missed out on something - which is why National Merit should be sending out their own information directly to students _as_well_as_ notifying the schools. It doesn't take much imagination to figure out how to do that.[/quote]
