Gates Millennium Scholarship - 2008-2009

<p>I'm in MA and haven't received anything.</p>

<p>speak_Easy when did u submit ur docs?</p>

<p>OK... my stats: Asian
SAT: not too impressive
weighed gpa: 5.0
unweighed: 4.0
ap: 11
lots of community service, leadership, etc
pretty lengthy essays- I'd say about 1.5-2 pages single-spaced each.</p>

<p>Eleven (11) ?!!?!?</p>

<p>Yes, my school offered plenty and I took most of them.</p>

<p>11 AP courses and a 4.0 GPA! Impressive!</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Faxed some of my stuff on March 18, the rest was mailed the same day.</p>

<p>GMS confirmed they had my stuff and were reviewing it, I think 2 days later.</p>

<p>:shrug: I'm not worried. Can't be worried when I just got into my first-choice school (Brown) w/ a very generous fin. aid. package.</p>

<p>AGirlLikeMe: I, too, hope you're right. I'm a Hispanic on the East Coast, and I still haven't seen any hint of anything from Gates :( On the plus side, I'm hoping that won't matter at all, because Ivies rock with the whole financial aid deal :-p</p>

<p>That's right, ethanrt!</p>

<p>Well, all along I wanted all the 5 finalist from my school to be scholars, Only one has received his status and he is a scholar, I just found out that one of those finalists who i thought to be my friend, he dont want me to be a scholar. I still hope that he gets it though</p>

<p>mosvalublpelayo-- that's true heart right down. : Best of luck mann</p>

<p>I've faced some hatred at school too...but from those who didn't make it as finalists.</p>

<p>ethanrt - I wouldn't worry that much since you live in the East Coast. The HSF is in California, so it will take some time.</p>

<p>yeah im facing some hatred also...not only from those who didn't make it as finalists but also from others who didn't even bother applying...
But all i can do is just ignore their comments and keep on waiting...</p>

<p>Yeah I was the only one who applied and my school and now people are hating on me because I won. Pfft. Their loss. They are just upset because now I don't have to worry about the finances of college and they do.</p>

<p>i wish ppl knew how to be nice and not jealous of others!</p>

<p>Am I the only one that haven't submitted everything....</p>

<p>AHHHHH I get my financial aid package tomorrow and so hopefully I can fax it in!!!</p>

<p>btw..only 2 people apply and I was the one that got finalist...hehe...
people in my school are lazy..never heard of gates..</p>

<p>Has any Asian Americans fromt he west received notifications? I will seriously freak out if I do not get anything tomorrow.</p>

<p>JohnN - I'm from the West Coast and I have yet to receive any notifications. I will also die if I don't receive anything tomorrow. =[</p>

<p>when did u fax all ur info johnN? which organization? from what i've observed, u get a notice 9 or 10 days after u fax in all ur info!
Good luck! i haven't received anything either...</p>
