Discussions Gates Millenium Scholarship - 2010-2011

<p>I sure hope so, Aya! :[ I’ve been waiting for 2 hours to submit. I’m using IE and Google Chrome. Neither one is working for me.</p>

<p>oh no really? Well I just called the place and they said they had to reboot the server or something and it should be working in an hour or two. I will call them back if it is not working by 8.</p>

<p>Thanks who did u call? the number on the website? What time do they close?</p>

<p>Yay. Hopefully it WILL be working as soon as possible. I don’t want to be in this position tomorrow!</p>

<p>Oh man…that’s what she said.</p>

<p>Lol I think if were in the same position they might extend the deadline…
Are all of you guys done with your essays?</p>

<p>@chanoob I am. I just need to copy and paste from Word & submit. I love writing, so the essays will (hopefully) be the strongest part of my app.</p>

<p>Oh so your the competition eh?</p>

<p>Hopefully, we’ll all get it :slight_smile:
Haha.</p>

<p>-S</p>

<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>

<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>I suppose they’re rebooting. :)</p>

<p>Yup im still working on my essays =/. Are you sure that ur done burrito? Maybe it could use a little bit more adjusting?</p>

<p>=0</p>

<p>=( Server is still downnnnn…=(</p>

<p>Hey worst come to worst they extend the deadline another day until it gets fixed… BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!</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>I heard it was 25000 people last year… lol so 4% chance.</p>

<p>wow…that’s scary…</p>

<p>Thats what my friend who got the scholarship said at least.</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>
