<p>yes, Psolo2--i did that yesterday!!!! hehe</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the bill gates scholarship has a quota per city/school?
Since i know of at least 2 other kids from my school who applied for same scholarship, and they're probably more qualified than me. lol....uh-oh</p>
<p>hoa1180: I am not sure about the quota per city/school, but I found the list of winners from last year. From skimming through the list, it seems like there is no limitation on the number of winners per city. Also, occasionally there are more than one winner for each school. So don't worry, who cares if the two other kids are "probably more qualified than you." You never know--GMS might pick you instead ;)</p>

<li>To see the list, go to:

<p>Hope this helped!</p>
<p>Lucky me, my senior class is extremely lazy and my friend didn't fill out the application because "she just didn't feel like it", I filled mine out and sent it in in December. I hope get it, although my school is covering a good bit of my aid i still need around 9K a year to cover loans and books.</p>
<p>I doubt there is a limit. In our state 6 winners were from a school that listed a senior class of 90.</p>
<p>As far as I know, three people (including myself) at my school applied, so I think there's a good chance we'll each get one.</p>
<p>I am the only one who applied from the IB program at my school. I have not had much luck with the whole scholarship thing.</p>
<p>Has anybody applied anywhere else???</p>
<p>anyone heard anything yet?
last year UNCEF people heard around this time and other people were notified around the 15th
please post if you get something</p>

<p>Same thing at my school. They took one look at that long application and said forget it. Luckily only 1 other person I know of applied. I hope I get it!</p>
<p>That's why a lot of students I know didn't want to fill it out. One look at it and they were like "Heck no!" Even though I am soooo lazy, I knew I had to do it because I want my education to be paid for and I surely can't afford it.</p>
<p>I think around 4 students (including me) in my school applied. I don't know what are the chances. We all have different backgrounds, obstacles and leadership activities. I know that 2 of the students that applied could care less though. Maybe they'll win anyways, you never know.</p>
<p>Each day I keep thinking about this. I really want to win it, so that I can study wherever and whatever I want to study, and not have to spend my parents' money and get a loan. They hate the schools that I applied to, that's why I thought that maybe if I win this, it would make some things easier (and my college financial life as well). Maybe, maybe not. But I'll still work to save money though. What about you guys?</p>
<p>Good luck to all of us! :) Hopefully GMS sees how bad we all want this!</p>
