<p>I didn’t get any letter yet, but I got my e-mail today at 6:22 PM, yay! I’m a finalist! I’m suprised about it since all of my essays were really short, only one got even close to the limit and the rest were really short, but decent stories and experiences. So how many percent of people get finalist from the initial amount of applicants? And how many people from there get the scholarship?</p>
<p>EDIT: And I’m a Peruvian from Nevada!</p>
<p>Yes! Finalist. Hispanic from Kansas</p>
<p>yes! finalist, african american, MA</p>
<p>I am a finalist and I still got that “your letter is in the mail” message. You guys need to stop freaking out.</p>
<p>Dunno if I’m a finalist, but I did get the infamous “letter in the mail” message. Where are the CA finalists from? I’m from LA.</p>
<p>I know how you feel. I’m from LA and I’ve been waiting for an email.</p>
<p>Oh, the anticipation! Did you call the number and check?</p>
<p>Yeah I checked and it just said that a letter has been sent out.</p>
<p>That gives me hope. I still might have a chance eventhough I got the letter message when I called.</p>
<p>I am an Asian</p>
<p>I’m a finalist, but I can’t complete my stuff yet because the GPA form is supposed to come in the mail… ugh… lucky I live near Washington D.C.</p>
<p>any asians from nor cal?</p>
<p>chinese, san diego
yae!</p>
<p>Have any African-Americans been notified from the Northwest(Alaska, Oregon, Washington)</p>
<p>Lol Im african american from WA and haven’t heard anything yet.</p>
<p>Yay ur giving me hope!</p>
<p>im guessing all the asians have been notified? :'(</p>
<p>the finalists: when do u have to send your things in? do u have a lot of time or no? if the deadline is a long time from now, the people who are still waiting for the notifications/letter might have a chance.</p>
<p>All the forms must be received by April 8th</p>
<p>I’m still very nervous… But I’m still hopeful of course. I worked really hard on those essays!</p>
