<p>This is a NEW message from the fb group :
Wow! we will get a letter/big envelop tomorrow…at least some of us will start getting them</p>
<p>"Hello Scholar finalists… Well, that is finalists for just a few more hours.</p>
<p>Letters mailed on Monday will start arriving tomorrow. I wish each of you the very best and echo what you’ve seen here. Even if not selected, you’ve already achieved something great by getting into college. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>I have a favor to ask. When the big packets start arriving, can one of you who is selected create a 2012 Gates Scholar FB page as a group closed to members only, please? Several of the GMS staff and I will join, and like Nesto has, we become the new advisors to the class.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>Mr. G"</p>
<p>Tomorrow as in wednesday, or was this statement made yesterday?? And do we receive e-mails tomorrow as well, or just the packets??</p>
<p>When any of you receive your response, could you please post it on here as soon as you can, and put what area you are from?</p>
<p>ahhhhhhh I’m about to go to school so this is going to be a long day, plus I have volunteering and work until 6:30!! </p>
<p>I’m on the west coast, so if they were mailed on Monday, it shouldn’t come today right? Or were some mailed on Friday?</p>
<p>Hispanics!! I just called to change my address and they said they haven’t mailed them yet.</p>
<p>so when will letters for hispanics be mailed???;/</p>
<p>@doublerainbow and @damienb2012 the message was from this morning so the letters should be in our mailboxes starting tomorrow. </p>
<p>Good luck to all of us and much Love to you all!</p>
<p>I have 3 Cs on my report card. 3.5 GPA overall(unweighted)</p>
<p>I feel like those Cs will be the reasons for my disqualification:/ 2 are in math and one C from 9grade english</p>
<p>(I have really good grades in science and Spanish class which I have been taking for 6 years since middle school and I have HS credits)
It will be a miracle if I get selected. It would mean that grades are not the only thing they look at(I know they expect us to be well rounded) :S</p>
<p>Ill keep praying</p>
<p>So do we only receive letters tomorrow, or will they e-mail us also?</p>
<p>Someone received his letterrrrr today! He is Asian from Northern Virginia! He is making the FB page</p>
<p>@star2012 - Did he happen to mention how he recieved notification? I didn’t know if they received them in the regular mail, UPS, FedEx or email. Congrats to him btw!</p>
<p>Received my Rejection Letter! …:’( It sucks. Good luck to all my sisters and brothers!</p>
<p>im SO sorry to hear that star2012 
. What branch are you in?</p>
<p>aww I’m sorry … but umm, did you get an e-mail also, or just the letter?? what was your EFC?</p>
<p>uh oh things are starting to get real here. </p>
<p>panic panic. star2012, great job for making it as a finalist, at least there’s closure. </p>
<p>for those who are getting letters, can you tell us your your state that you live in?</p>

<p>Let me tell you one thing. I had a feeling I wasnt going to make it because I had 3 Cs on my transcript. 2 from Math classes:/</p>
<p>Life goes on but I learned my lesson the hard way now.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! i know the anticipation is killing us all! its crazy! but i wanted to know if the people that received the rejection and congratulation letter can please tell us how you were notified. please. by email or regular mail? or something like UPS? thank you very much!</p>
<p>Regular Mail! Please dont jump the mailman Lol</p>
<p>I haven’t even gotten any mails these past two days ! Strange.</p>
