Gates Millenium Scholarship 2011-2012

<p>this has probably been asked like a bajillion times before but does anyone know how many semifinalists there are?</p>

<p>Last year there were about 1900. Idk about this year.</p>

<p>Have any hispanics been notified??</p>

<p>Anybody from the pacific time zone?</p>

<p>I’m from pacific time zone, but I haven’t received anything yet. Have you?</p>

<p>what about the midwest?</p>

<p>Nope. Hopefully this means the west coast hasn’t been notified.</p>

<p>Ahh. I hope so too. >.<</p>

<p>well GMSP is based inwashington d.c so it makes sense that the west coast will take a while.</p>

<p>Anywho, good luck to all of you who are waiting for your decision.</p>

<p>I can’t believe that there are 1900 so only a little over half will ultimately get the scholarship >:I I wonder if there is some sort of consolation prize for the semifinalists who don’t make finalist…</p>

<p>Call 1(877) 690-4677 and if you get the 0 of out 5 message you are a finalist and if you get a message that says a letter is on its way, then you didn’t make it. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it.</p>

<p>I didn’t make it either… if the 0-5 thing is correct. Oh well.</p>

<p>How do you know this is true?</p>

<p>:( no email, madddd disappointed</p>

<p>I think that’s how they did it last year.
Good luck to those who made it!</p>

<p>do i have to call off a certain phone number?</p>

<p>What is the 0 out of 5 message? Because when I called it gave me numbers from 1 to 5 with different prompts? Like if I am a nominator press 3, the media press 5 etc.</p>

<p>I’m a finalist!</p>

<p>At the end of the message, if they tell you a letter was sent to you, then I guess it means you weren’t accepted. I think the 0-5 message is the message that tells you to send in your official hs transcript, financial aid information, etc.</p>

<p>@lenannguyen</p>

<p>After it gives you the 5 options, does it right away say that a letter was sent? Because for me it didnt, and it doens’t really make sense that if you win you get a different message.</p>

<p>so im guessing the letters just got sent out today. maybe another batch will b sent tonight!?!?!</p>
