<p>im from Maryland</p>
<p>does anybody know where the letters will be mailed from is it virginia or illinois or where. it shouldnt take that long to get to us</p>
<p>That's what I was wondering...that's why I've been asking where everyone's from :]</p>
<p>I think Wash. DC.</p>
<p>okay so it says i am a finalist.
what exactly does that mean.
not any of my administrators and teachers know if that means i got the scholarship or not [first person from my school to make it this far].
can someone please explain this to me.
thanks!</p>
<p>oh btw
last name: S
time: 6:40 pm
asian [japanese] pacific islander [samoan]</p>
<p>Did you get it today? And no, finalist does not mean you got the scholarship, it just means you made it into the second round.</p>
<p>Seems like a majority of the people here are from the east coast. I am from Arizona, do you think the materials will arrive some time this week?</p>
<p>Im from Maryland too :)</p>
<p>JohnN, </p>
<p>Probably. What ethnicity are you?</p>
<p>Did anyone receive the finalist notification through snail mail? My friends and I have been anxiously waiting for the notification. Do they send the notification out according to last names? because so far, my friends and I (who have similar last names) didn't receive anything from GMS.</p>
<p>Apparently, snowman96, notification is being sent out in a variety of different ways (email, postal service), and is being staggered by ethnicity.</p>
<p>memberofthevrwc: I am Vietnamese Asian-American.</p>
<p>snowman96: I received mine through email. Perhaps they are going by backward alphabetical (btw, my last name starts with N).</p>
<p>Yeah, that's what i suspected. They might have done it backward. My last name starts with C, my friend who got the notification have last names starting with F, Y, S. I just hope i either get the email tonight or receive it tomorrow through postal.</p>
<p>It's really mysterious how they decided to send them out. However, the one thing that is certain is that notification will be made by each ethnic group's representative (UNCF, HSF, etc.)</p>
<p>does anyone kno how many students get this award</p>
<p>azulgrana10 - 1000 students will get this award. However, we do not know how many finalists end up receiving the award.</p>
<p>do u by any chance kno how many finalists are selected by any chance?</p>
