Gates Millennium Scholarship - 2008-2009

<p>Did all the Hispanics receive their emails yesterday?</p>

<p>what are the phone number to the asian group!!!!!</p>

<p>oh, please... please... I really need this scholarship.</p>

<p>Actually i think that the people who got emails are still going to be notified by mail because they have to give us a Cumulative Unweighted GPA Form that our GC has to fill out. In the email, or at least my email, it said:</p>

<p>This correspondence was also sent to you by postal mail; therefore, you will receive the Unweighted Cumulative GPA Form referenced above by mail.</p>

<p>So I'm guessing you will get both an email and snail mail. And i'm african american.</p>

<p>But i hope some more (if not everyone) gets it. We've been anxiously waiting for so long. GOOD LUCK GUYS!!</p>

<p>Yeah, I know and I asked that but the person who was talking to me was saying how they can't notify all the semi-finalist via email so they're going to spilt half email and half mail. :/ </p>

<p>So if you were notified by email, you'll get the GPA thing in the mail and that's it. If you haven't gotten an email, you'll receive that and a list of all the things you'll need to turn in (if you make it to the 2nd round). Her words, not mine.</p>

<p>I'm guessing that the Asian group will be notified hopefully tomorrow? This is extremely nervewracking!</p>

<p>@ Mika</p>

<p>Ahh i see. Makes sense. Well its a good thing i got an email because I'm not a fan of waiting and waiting for snail mail would be the worst lol.</p>

<p>Anyways GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!</p>

<p>y cant they just do every thing thru emaill.arggh!! dis is going to giveme a breakdown. i gotta keep prayin to God</p>

<p>So how many of the semifinalists become scholarship winners? It said that all the paperwork is due April 11 and that we would be advised of our status on April 15. That makes it sound like the semifinalist stage is sort of unnecessary and that most of the semifinalists eventually win the scholarship.</p>

<p>My guidance counselor showed me the email that they CC'ed her twicce..but I didnt receive anything.. so yeah... alot of AA may have not been notified yet...</p>

<p>Sweeet!!! See, there's still hope! :) Don't give up guys!!</p>

<p>Definitely don't give up! I'm totally rooting for each and every one of you :)</p>

<p>oh, so they also send email to the recommender and nominator as well?</p>

<p>Ditto on the question about how many semifinalist get the scholarship?</p>

<p>and yes they do send an email to your recommender and nominator</p>

<p>There's still hope then!!! I'm so nervous...so if you didn't get anything by email yet you should be getting something in the mail sometime this week right?? Does it matter which race you are to be getting the notification in the mail???</p>

<p>each year, they pick 1000 scholars ( i think)</p>

<p>i think dat they pick over 1,000 becos on the gate millenium annual report thing it says that since 1999 they have had 11,000 scholars</p>

<p>I'm praying again and again</p>

<p>I wish time can fly forward...</p>
