Gates Millennium Scholarship - 2008-2009

<p>@Hahastupidme -</p>

<p>I have school tomorrow too, and I still have homework I didn't do.... luckily it's all due Tuesday... although doubt it will get done since I will be waiting for those Ivy League decisions today.</p>

<p>ARGH... the aggravation continues even if its not from GMS.</p>

<p>The Ivies dont worry me, this is what makes me decide where I am going, because Ivies are whatever since I got into 10 schools, and they are all what Im willing to go to, but this scholarship decides if I can afford to go to one of those schools, most of my fin aid package for UCLA is loans, sucks alot, its parent loans, self loans, and efc. they gave me one grant that is non renewable so Im screwed, how is it that private schools are cheaper to me than publics. I just dont get it</p>

<p>@mosvalublepelayo -</p>

<p>I understand where you're coming from... Finances are a big issue for me...Privates are often cheaper (when including FinAid) than publics because privates have more $$$ available to give, while publics are often subject to the whims of the federal and/or state budgetary process.</p>

<p>John N: I got the login username and password after calling their office. I didn't even know I had one until I asked about it.</p>

<p>so ppl on spring break, have fun waiting! i am at school right now but all my attention is towards my mail box! lol
@csn897 - so u haven't gotten a packet yet?</p>

<p>I'm at school. And I have tests just about every class tomorrow, and work tonight. So I don't have much time to worry about Brown, Cornell, or GMS.</p>

<p>I'm not even sure if I'll be home when the decisions come out, but I'll probably be home for a hour or so this afternoon...just enough time to check the mail.</p>

<p>Good luck, and stop worrying!</p>

<p>i have tests/projects due today and i'm working on them in between classes...can't stop thinking about gates! but im not worried anymore cuz whatever is going to happen is meant to happen. my friend relaxed me by telling me this quote: 'sometimes things fall apart so that things can fall together"</p>
