<p>I think the GMS site is starting to be rebooted.
“The connection was reset.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.”
is starting to pop up instead of the actual login page.</p>

71

<p>No not everyone will get it. Only 1000 people get it. =) But, yes hopefully, we all get in.
Best of luck guys!!! ;)</p>

<p>@Chanoob: Where did you find out that 1000 number? I’ve been trying to find some statistics and I haven’t found any. Do you know how many people applied last year?</p>

<p>Chris, it’s 1000 every year. Here’s a link to the winners from last year: <a href=“http://www.gmsp.org/Img/UserDir/docs/Cohort%2010%20by%20home%20state.pdf[/url]”>http://www.gmsp.org/Img/UserDir/docs/Cohort%2010%20by%20home%20state.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also I guess it’s called the “Millennium” Scholarship because there are 1000 recipients.</p>
