Im already a finalist. I just want to see if this is possibly enough for me to be a 2015 gates scholar.
Income is more important in the second phase. I was a finalist in 2012 and I immediately gotten my heart crush because I wasnt selected as a scholar. Those with the lowest amount of money (Adjusted Gross) will have a better chance than someone who has a higher income. Your qualities brought you to the final phase, whatever you income is will determine whether or not you are a scholar. Bill and Melinda Gates mission is to help (financially) talented low-income students get through college with no debt. Hope this helps.
thanks, I qualify for 4,780 in pell this year. My efc was 918.
