<p>It’s 7:44 P.M already here in NY. I still haven’t received anything. I say it’s not happening. Oh well, at least I tried. It’s heartbreaking and devastating. I desperately need this! For once, i wanted to be proud of myself. Congrats to all the finalists! I can’t believe this.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the support and you’re right. I’m going to apply for all of the scholarships that I can and hope for the best! Thanks so much everyone!</p>
<p>I didn’t receive any mails/emails yet. Do you guys think that I should still call?</p>
<p>@cupcake608 it might help you figure out where you stand instead of guessing</p>
<p>@cupcake608 We (us non-finalist) all know how u feel. and about 18k other students feel the exact same way. in 1 month, a total of 23k students will feel the exact same thing. We all worked extremely hard for it. I started mine around last July…but…there are people who are more excelled/ deserved this scholarship more than us. I wish you best luck and for those who did not become finalist, let’s cry through the night and move on with the float tomorrow. :D</p>
<p>Got my finalist notification today!</p>
<p>I don’t know what I’m going to do when I receive the email/letter. I don’t want to open it but at the same time, I do.
As for everyone else that hasn’t received an email/letter, don’t lose hope. I read a post on here that says that we should all know our status by March 15th.</p>
<p>You guys are actually so awesome. You make me feel better. I always tell people to not give up on hope but seems like I’m the hypocrite here. I’ve been so down for the past several weeks and this could have made a difference. My guess is that I didn’t make it, because obviously I haven’t received anything. But, at the same time I’m trying MY BEST to be optimistic and hope that a miracle will happen.
This devastates me: inbox (0)
Thanks you guys!</p>
<p>@carltonb17: what time did you receive it?</p>
<p>@carltonb17: what time did you get yours? CONGRATS BTW! :)</p>
<p>@ARandomStudent, don’t say that!!! there’s still hope and like I said, other chances will come! Maybe religion should be kept out, but I have always been taught that God does everything for a reason. Since I was little, I’ve been told, “God squeezes but never chokes!” I’ve been told this in Spanish so it may sound weird translated into english. Don’t fret, like I said maybe God awaits you with something better:) again sorry that I got religious but that’s the only way I can explain myself:) probably part due to my Catholic upbringing and living in the Bible Belt of the country:) </p>
<p>I will create a group tonight for all finalists on Facebook, any finalist is welcome to join:) if y’all wanna message me private to give me your name or for me to give mine, y’all can:) again congratulations to all! And people who havnt heard anything back, don’t lose hope! One last thing, if y’all wanna invite other people y’all know are finalists y’all can:)</p>
<p>@cupcake608 as rosacolon says, you will have until march 15 to find out. Don’t lose hope man…STAY STRONG MAN (even though i have no rights to say that…crying so much now :DD)</p>
<p>@rosacolon: have you called yet? do you know your status?</p>
<p>@ArandomStudent: Thank you so much for your encouragement but honestly, things in my life haven’t been going very well. I will be more optimistic though.
@mexinms: We stand on different religious background but I also believe that God does everything for the best. </p>
<p>I haven’t even started my hw yet because I’ve been contemplating over this. I will try to forget about all of this until I receive my rejection or finalist letter. </p>
<p>Congrats to everyone! I’m sure you all deserve it!</p>
<p>Again congrats to all of the finalists and to the non-finalists don’t lose hope</p>
<p>@ lpzalq </p>
<p>I called and i got the 0-5 message ! :)</p>
<p>@mexinms Lol, ironically (is it?) that i am a Catholic myself. And I think that God will choose the 1k students that deserve this scholarship the most (academically and characteristically). And I do think we should put religion out of this because the statement I put above sounded kinda stupid (for the non-religious folks).
@cupcake608 No worries man, you will have our support either way. Stay strong</p>
<p>YAY I RECEIVED MY FINALIST STATUS TOO :].
Congrats to everyone who got a finalist status! And my condolences to those who did not :[ stay strong!</p>
<p>@alleeee: What number did you call to find out about the number of documents they currently have received from you!</p>
<p>Also, has anyone received their packet in the mail yet? I’ve only received an e-mail, but no actual mail, and thus I cannot send in my Unweighted Cumulative GPA form yet.</p>
<p>how late do they send out emails?</p>
<p>@strongestspark </p>
<p>18776904677</p>
<p>!!! Received my email and letter this afternoon. I am a finalist from Oklahoma!!!</p>
<p>@Alleeee: Was it an automated system that told you they had 0 out of the 5 required documents or did you speak to a live representative?</p>
