Gates Millennium Scholarship - 2008-2009

<p>dammit man im so tired of waiting
and after reading some of the stats that you guys have like 8 ap classes and all these leadership things im like great im not getting this</p>

<p>I got my rejection today!! lol
now i cna move on with my life</p>

<p>Do finalists who don't make it to being a scholar get notified of their rejection?</p>

<p>MR. Tubbz - Can you specify if you were rejected as finalist or a scholar?</p>

<p>My guess is that if you were to be rejected as a scholar, you would receive the notification at a later date.</p>

<p>I was rejected as a finalist...</p>

<p>lol, congratulations on getting into Stanford Mr. Tubbz!</p>

<p>well one of the twins from my school received gates, none of the rest have gotten anything one down foru to go</p>

<p>i really wanna know if i got the scholarship or not! i finished faxing on 24th so i believe i won't hear from them until the first or second week of april...any asian notifications yet?</p>

<p>No, I haven't heard from GMS yet. Otherwise, this weekend's been pretty fantastic. Accepted to 2 schools that I really liked and they both gave me unbelievable financial aid. LIKE INCREDIBLE. At first I was like, "this must be a mistake. Maybe they added wrong, then multiplied the sum by two, and accidentally squared the product."</p>

<p>congrats Speak_Easy!
care to share which schools?
;)</p>

<p>I am Asian.</p>

<p>And I am a scholar!! I was so nervous for a while</p>

<p>congrats sasinib!! This is making me nervous because I'm still waiting for a financial aid letter from one of my colleges to fax into gates to prove my citizenship :(</p>

<p>Wesleyan & BU (Boston Univ.) :)</p>

<p>Congrats, Sasinib!</p>

<p>I guess, we Asians should keep our fingers crossed.</p>

<p>Good luck, everyone!</p>

<p>Congrats Sasinib!!!! im really scared/nervous now that asians have started notifying....which day did they send u the materials sasinib? what's the postmark date on the packet? where do u live?</p>

<p>Congratulations Sasinib! What was the postmark date on your packet? Where do you live?</p>

<p>I'm so nervous. Has any else received notifications from APIASF?</p>

<p>So went to go check the mail... and there was yet another large white envelope in the mailbox. Figuring I would be disappointed, I snatched the envelope out and kept walking. When I looked down, I noticed it was from...</p>

<p>GMS! I AM A SCHOLAR!</p>

<p>Yay! </p>

<p>Now all I have to do is wait for Harvard and Cornell's decisions and I will be well on my way to selecting a college.</p>

<p>Oh, looks like we're playing 20 questions!</p>

<p>Animal, vegetable, or mineral?</p>

<p>:P</p>

<p>Relax! There's nothing we can do about it now, so keep your fingers crossed and take it easy.</p>

<p>Edit to add: Congrats memberofthevrwc! Do you really not get your mail until 8 PM?</p>

<p>Sasinib and memberofthevrwc CONGRATS!</p>

<p>I still have yet to receive anything. If it does not come in by next week, I think I will lose all hope.</p>

<p>@Speak_Easy --</p>

<p>No, I got it earlier. But I've been out all day and just got home.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone!!</p>

<p>I definitely understand everyone's anxiety, because I felt the same way before today.</p>

<p>I live in Maryland. The letter is dated Mar 27th, and the package is postmarked Mar 28th. If I remember some people had letters dated earlier than that, so I think that they sent on a rolling basis as they make decisions.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!!</p>
