<p>Here is a thread so we can discuss about this scholarship!</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we’re notified if we’re a semi-finalist or not? Last year it was around this time, mid-march I believe.</p>
<p>my question exactly.
i havent heard anything or gotten any email.
i didnt get the gates…
hopefully this one pulls through!!</p>
<p>O.O Gates is already notifying the finalists?</p>
<p>Yup. I got rejected by Gates Millenium Scholars - United Negro College Fund by mail yesterday.</p>
<p>Funny thing is, I didn’t apply and I’m not black. :P</p>
<p>I havn’t even received a rejection letter from Gates yet…oh well… definitely a rejection lol</p>
<p>I am for once mad at myself for not procrastinating this time lol… I turned my GMS application in way back in October when before I learned application filling techniques from CC!!!</p>

<p>OMG. SAME HERE. I thought that maybe it meant I was rejected from APIASF too? I’m so confused!</p>
<p>APIASF focuses more on the essay than other stuff from what I have heard.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten anything from APIASF either</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha yeah I thought APIASF rejected me and I got the wrong letter by mistake, but apparently they sent that to all students to started the Gates app but never submitted it.</p>
<p>Ah I’m so anxious. Where are you APIASF? Oh like 200 kids are picked right? Do we all get invited to attend the Awards Dinner?</p>
<p>Anyone receive any notification yet?</p>
<p>Um…nope. Looking at last year, it seems to be end of April/Early May…</p>
<p>Aren’t semi-finalists notified first during late march?</p>
<p>I’M A FINALIST! Just got my letter today! WOOT! I feel it. I feel good. :D</p>
<p>noice.
good luck to all!</p>
<p>Thanks man! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I hope I get one…</p>
<p>I am a finalist! Just got my letter! First good news I’ve heard since forever!</p>
<p>do they notify you through email as well?</p>
