<p>@dqn217: i feel like i should befriend u hahaha where r u going for college?</p>
<p>@aziangirl
Maybe WSU unless I get this scholarship then bye bye wichita</p>
<p>aziangirl: You welcome. and yea…I’m a huge procrastinator.lol…only reason I finished the application before time is that I already had the info saved on the computer. If not, I’d be starting it sunday night. :p</p>
<p>Just a quick thought here. Those of you who are down here in the South, don’t forget our snow/ice storm that will be here Monday just in time for your power to be knocked out right before you want to push submit. </p>
<p>Just my gentle nudge not to wait till the last minute! ;)</p>
<p>Haha, GA2012MOM - I live in GA and while I hope we don’t have school Monday, I certainly don’t hope that the storm knocks out our power/Internet!</p>
<p>Anyway, does anyone know about how many people get the scholarship?</p>
<p>1,000 people.</p>
<p>^Thank you! 8)</p>
<p>LocoArts: wait, there are about 21000 applicants and 1000 winners? So your telling me I have a better chance at going to Harvard, than winning this scholarship? Lol my confidence just plummeted. </p>
<p>Also where did you hear that the winners are separated by race? Did someone send you a link?</p>
<p>JSea11: thats most likely true. And did you know getting a 34-36 on ACT does not guarantee you to get in? The score is just for “special consideration”. My friend got turned down with a 35! that’s crazy…but away from the random stuff yea, only 3% of us will get that. </p>
<p>and the seperation thing: I found out from past GM scholars. They said that was the breakdown( I found someone in my college Robotics and systems class was a GM scholar, I asked if it was true and she say yea).</p>
<p>do you have to be a senior to apply?</p>
<p>Collegebound247: Yes. You do</p>
<p>Application SUBMITTED lord have mercy</p>
<p>im just wondering does everyone have enough info on accomplishments and leadership to fill out every space provided? does anyone know actually scholars that have won without everything filled out?</p>
<p>and does GMS people ask finalists to provide proof of awards/leadership? or do they just ask for SAR and transcript. i lost my nomination for National Youth Forum although i didnt apply to it. i guess it counts?</p>
<p>Hi everyone, I’m just wondering, which scholarship do you think is more difficult to get, the Gates Millenium or the Jackie Robinson? thanks :)</p>
<p>Zhengmaster: yea all if my community service, leadership, and activities spaces were filled. I actually had do much to put down in each category I didn’t know which ones would look best.</p>
<p>How competitive is the Jackie Robinson?</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m applying too 
It seems like no one at my school is applying, which is weird.
Anyways, I really hope we all get this scholarship.
My top school is Howard University.
I got in; now, I just have to get scholarship money.
I have been working on the Gates scholarship since November.
Two more essays to go, which I will complete tonight.
Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Hey guy. before you submitted the app. did the nominator and recommender have a red headline on top saying “Please ensure that your Nominator has your correct Registration ID.” Because I asked both my nominator and recommender, and they both said they inputted the right ID number.</p>
<p>sandra_ny2011: GMS is more competitive…But it’s also worth more</p>
