<p>Has anyone from Massachusetts got it yet??</p>
<p>I’m a Native American from Oklahoma and was notified yesterday that I am a finalist!</p>
<p>I just called and they said that emails have not all been sent and that do not depend on the automated recording because not everything have been sent and updated. Everyone has receieved that “letter is sent” message unless their status has been updated and known to be sent. They said wait two weeks especially the Florida and Georgia kids.</p>
<p>Man this is making me anxious!!! My friends have already gotten their letters and I’m sitting here still waiting for mines 
and their asian btw. I’m Asian too and I live in GA so maybe I shouldn’t worry since there’s like a two week delay? But does anyone know how long this process takes? I heard it last throughout march. I’d rather get my notification quick even if I’ve been rejected. The wait is just too much. And so any of you think that your councelors may have received a notification?</p>
<p>I just missed a call from apiasf. What happen if se called me to tell me that the finalist email was a mistake?!!! Omg</p>
<p>@Babylunabi, I highly doubt it :)</p>
<p>@AUMkid, that gives me a tinge of hope</p>
<p>I’m a finalist! I got my letter and email yesterday!</p>
<p>I know im just as anxious a kid from my school got their letter yesterday and I still waiting</p>
<p>@babylunabi apiasf is just calling to tell you that you’re a finalist and let you know what materials they want. don’t worry about the call, I just got one as well.</p>
<p>everyone else… keep praying and don’t freak out.</p>
<p>So what prevents one from being a Gates Scholar?</p>
<p>@msjvirgo, are u from Mississippi?:)</p>
<p>anyone at all from nc?</p>
<p>Nope im from Chicago!</p>
<p>Lol. Should have picked up ! Bill Gates called … JK. Mine was from Joo Young Lee . They were just verifying some things.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m pretty sure I didn’t get it. No email no letter no nothing…</p>
<p>@msjvirgo, I saw ms and I got excited. As of right now, I haven’t heard of any other Missisippians that are finalist which is kind of upsetting.</p>
