<p>@Doublerainbow99 and @SaraSpartan2012</p>
<p>You guys are so cool. I wish @lakeawead was just as nice.
The Stats make me nervous.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say good luck to everyone one last time!</p>
<p>Ohmgjdjsiwuwbdbddjwiwowms so nervous. I hope I get an envelope today and get it over with. :{</p>
<p>thanks @ericcalvin. Good Luck to you as well!:-)</p>
<p>when do your guys’ mailmen/women come? Mine is usually 4ish.</p>
<p>Yeah around the same time…I don’t have the key and I’m nervoussss. Did you check?</p>
<p>4 ishhhhh.
omg, so nervous!</p>
<p>i live on the west coast, so I’m not really expecting it today. So I’m guessing Wednesday is the day I should really be nervous about. eck.</p>
<p>im sorta basing it off of my finalist letter. postmarked for the 5th recieved on the 7th.
im about to check my mail in a few.</p>
<p>Who lives in the EastCoast and checked their mail today?
I can’t wait to get the keys to my mailbox omg</p>
<p>I feel like we won’t be receiving it today, or else the fb group would be off the charts by now with posts, since it’s 5 already in the east coast area!</p>
<p>@doublerainbow99</p>
<p>Yes you are right</p>
<p>I believe that when they sent out the finalist Notifications, they probably put in rush delivery because we had additional documents to turn in to complete our profile. This time they didnt put in a rush delivery. So I may receive mine tomorrow or Wednesday because I stay in Chicago.</p>
<p>Has anyone been notified? I didn’t get anything in the mail…</p>
<p>I hope we get something in the mail starting tomorrow. This is my only graduation gift.</p>
<p>You didn’t get into the school you wanted to go to @star? Is it UMBC or CC for you? Lots of middle class non minority kids with way better stats than you have to go to CC because of costs, don’t feel bad if you go as well.</p>
<p>hey im also a gates finalist, but i did not know there was a fb group can someone tell me the name or URL?</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I’m a Native American from Michigan. I honestly don’t know anyone else around where I’m from that applied. I come from a really small public school (and when I say small, I mean small-my graduating class is 12). I applied to this scholarship as a long shot and somehow ended up as a finalist. Haha. I found this and I’m happy to find out I’m not the only one that’s freaking out about the results. I can’t wait until I find out. Either way it goes, it will put an end to this stress! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>the fb group actually is closed, i’m not sure why, but the admin isn’t adding any more people.</p>
<p>did anyone in VA get anything? I mean it got shipped from VA, so isn’t 2 days more than enough to mail the VA residents their notification letters?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there will be any other way to check your scholar-status?
I just moved so my mail is being forwarded and it delays everything by a week or so…</p>
<p>@Jeffth Thanks so much. The second school u mentioned (CP) is where I’m heading. I’m content with that. I was just saying this is the only form of graduation gift I get…I dont have family or relatives whoive closeby who will attend my grad but thats.ok.</p>
<p>@Saraspartan… I was stalking last year’s thread and I read somewhere that they email all the finalists soon after the mails have been dstributed. This is a verry stressful time for all of us. Hang in there.</p>
<p>=) I like that you admit that you stalk them lol, and thank you so much! I hope those emails come out soon!</p>
