<p>^ nope, just mail only. good luck.</p>
<p>yay! i’m a finalist as well!</p>
<p>Congrats guys! I guess you’re my competition! lmao! I heard the awards dinner for recipients is going to take place in CA this year? Maaaan I need to get out of NY for a while!</p>
<p>does anyone know what the percentage of finalists will actually end up receiving the scholarships?</p>
<p>^i’d like to know this as well !</p>
<p>im a finalist, YA!!! this definitely make me feel better after being rej from Gates… freak…
but YAY</p>
<p>edit: oops,i created a similar thread like 10 mins ago… sorry =s</p>
<p>I think we have a pretty good chance. Don’t like 200 kids get it each year? I know about 80 attended the awards dinner last year.</p>
<p>did you guys get a letter or an email??
and where are you guys located??</p>
<p>state or coast!
thanks</p>
<p>pacific… its letter form… it’s dated march 31st…</p>
<p>gluck!</p>
<p>NYC, dated March 31st. The other kids in my school that I know of who applied didn’t hear back either.</p>
<p>Does everyone get notified? (or just the finalist)</p>
<p>What do you mean? I thought they were the same thing. I got a letter from them in mid march titled: Gates Millennium Scholars Finalist and then it had APIASF under it. I’m confused now…</p>
<p>Oh you’re probably in the running for both scholarships. Did you apply to both?</p>
<p>they’re probably diff… i received gates rejection in march ~ and it was only for gates…
it doesnt make sense if they’re sent together; they’re not even in the same department…</p>
<p>Gates has 4 branches, the main Gates, then APIASF, UNCF, and Hispanic something. The APIASF scholarship itself is a separate scholarship from Gates APIASF</p>
<p>wait so you guys got letters for notifications right???</p>
<p>hmm i must have not gotten it…</p>
<p>got my rejection letter today :[</p>
<p>anyone know if we can check materials online? should i call to make sure that tehy have my materials?</p>
<p>You can email the coordinator, Bernadette Balagot. <a href="mailto:bbalagot@apiasf.org">bbalagot@apiasf.org</a> </p>
<p>She emailed me when I sent the wrong SAR, so if she didn’t email you then all your stuff should be in order.</p>
<p>i got rejected :(</p>
<p>thanks. i’ll do email soon :)</p>
