<p>It seems like I did not get it. Someone else from Georgia got their packet today, but I did not get anything in the mail. I’m really bummed. This stuff happens to me all too frequently. I guess I could not shake my bad karma after all.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it arrives via USPS? Or does it arrive by Fed-Ex / UPS?</p>
<p>Truly happy for all of you - your parents must be thrilled!!!</p>
<p>I on the other hand have not been this stressed out in I can’t remember when…the waiting is absolute, complete torture. Nothing in the mail.</p>
<p>I’ll be in Atlanta at Emory if I get Gates. Ihope.:)</p>
<p>Hispanic from California!! I’m a scholar :D</p>
<p>If you didn’t get anything in the mail does that mean that you did not get it?</p>
<p>Just received my package!!! I’m a Gates 2011 Scholar!!! Hispanic from California!</p>
<p>For those still waiting: it could be tomorrow or the next day before you hear anything. It ain’t over til its over. </p>

<p>after reading all the messages mostly everyone is either AA or asian and they are mostly from the eastern/south eastern side of the states. The only hispanics who have posted are from cali. So if you have not gotten a letter yet DO NOT lose hope. This makes sense since the AA center is in the East coast and i think the asian one is too. Hispanic center is in the West coast. So Hopefully i am right and we should all be getting our letters by tomorrow or Wednesday the latest.</p>
