Thank you! I was sure I had seen a 2025 thread, but I couldn’t find it in a search. I started this thread because I wanted to make sure that NM families knew about the BU AMA.
I guess when @CC_Sorin merged National Merit into general financial aid and then separated it again, he forgot to move the 2025 thread out. I’m going to close this thread and move the other thread into the National Merit section. Thanks Luanne!
