<p>does anyone know when we’ll find out about this scholarship? sometime early march? late march?</p>
<p>Someone got a finalist letter!</p>
<p>Did you really? Email or postal letter?</p>
<p>I didn’t receive anything yet. An Asian male from VA got his finalist notification letter today.</p>
<p>How’d you find out?</p>
<p>@choyphin, how do you know?!! i thought they would start giving them out on the 8th. my heart is beating so fast. i’m nervous. good luck guys!!!</p>
<p>He posted a picture of himself with the finalist letter on Facebook. It was addressed from APIASF (the branch of Gates that deals with Asian Americans)</p>
<p>Oh, well congrats to him!!! Also, I am part of that branch BUT I didn’t apply for the APIASF scholarship itself. I only applied for the Gates Millennium Scholarship. Is that a problem? I’m scared. I thought they’re two completely different scholarships.</p>
<p>@cupcake Nope that’s fine.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you!</p>
<p>I got mine~Woo! I live in Northern California and couldn’t be happier</p>
<p>@gremlinZZ Wow congrats!!! I wonder what the order is for sending the emails/letters. What time did you receive yours?</p>
<p>Omg! :[ so excited!</p>
<p>Can you call in to see if I am a finalist?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I remember reading somewhere that there’s a number that you can call for finalists info. Does anyone know?!</p>
<p>Do they inform people through email when they become finalist or they mail them a letter? Can someone please tell me the number?</p>
<p>According to past posts on this site, they email and send out a letter.</p>
<p>Which one they do first?</p>
<p>Yeah, like choyphin said, I just got mine today in the mail! It was a regular sized envelope that was kind of stuffed (it’ll have like 4 papers in it), so don’t get disheartened if you don’t see a giant yellow packet or whatever. It was from the race branch of the GMS, so, if you’re Asian you’ll see that it’ll be from APIASF. I have yet to receive an actual e-mail so I don’t think that comes first…</p>
<p>So yeah, Asian from Northern VA, got it today, good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>CONGRATS! I’m guessing that they’re probably doing it by branches? Not sure…but I’m also a part of that branch. Starting to get a little freaked out now.</p>
