Gates Millennium Scholarship - 2008-2009

<p>I'm from Washington state. I sent in my documents on the 13th and have yet to receive a notification. I don't think I've ever been this anxious before!</p>

<p>@JHovah08 -- </p>

<p>You have to call GMS to get your user name and password. It should be on one of those sheets in the center of the folder.</p>

<p>Mr. Tang we are in the same situation kinda. I'm from Arizona and have sent my stuff in on the 14th.</p>

<p>ARGH, the same person who wished taht I dont get gates just received the big packet, I would normally have been happier for him but he said that and I am just glad he got it. It does however worry me since he is also a Hispanic applicant like me.</p>

<p>Yup me a finalist...
Got notified on March 14th
I was on spring break from 15-24
So I fax in my stuff on the 25...got a email 3 days later that they received my stuff but needed to verify my citizenship status.....Now its April 2nd and I am still waiting on my financial aid award from Emory to fax in to GMS. that stinks...that means that I have to wait 10 days to find out my results...</p>

<p>Oh well.. i personally don't think that I got it. Good luck to you all.</p>

<p>Don't give up hope yet, Yan!</p>

<p>Yea JohnN, we're in the same situation!</p>

<p>Anyone else from the West Coast awaiting notification? I wish CC had more members so we can have more updates.</p>

<p>Hey, if it helps, I haven't been notified either and I'm from Washington. However, i did send in my documents later than you guys, the 17th rather than the 13th/14th. I'm going to Seattle to visit UW all day tomorrow, so I won't be able to get the mail ahhhh!!! hopefully i can get my mind off of this when i'm driving up there gahhh that's not going to be fun, I have a feeling I willl fall asleep at the wheel AGAIN haha.</p>

<p>hey lee, i faxed my last doc on the 26th and got an email from ms. april yesterday saying that my file is complete (i had emailed her a week before but she replied back yesterday)...i really hope that everyone of us gets it!!</p>

<p>HahaStupidMe, I think you will probaly get a notification next week. </p>

<p>Personally, I feel anyone who submitted their documents and got it confirmed during the week of the 17th will get their scholar notification today. For anyone who's documents were confirmed during the week of the 24th will get their notification next week. If you look at your planner or calendar you will get my pattern?</p>

<p>From what I've been hearing and reading...that's how the notification works.</p>

<p>Another day guys....Breathe, Be Easy...</p>

<p>Enjoy your day guys! :-)</p>

<p>Not today..I meant this week (correction0</p>

<p>yeah Lee, i noticed that pattern also! i really hope that i get notified soon...can't wait to get home and check the mail box!</p>

<p>You know what's weird? Though I got the packet, I never sat down and actually read everything. Maybe because I'm still in shock...I have to decide which college I am going to attend. I'm not that smart, so there's no ivy league school for me. I have a hard decision to make...</p>

<p>I want to go out of state but I have a lot of responsibilities at home. Such as working and keeping a roof over my sisters and brothers head. I have 3 younger sibling that I have to take care of, and I also support my two oldest ones. Both my parents are not active in our lives, so I play the mother role. </p>

<p>The school that I got accepted to out of state isn't an ivy league school, but it is very prestige, 35% acceptance rate. But the school that I got accepted to in state, isn't prestige. It isn't a community college but it's a state college, public...</p>

<p>I have 3 weeks to decide...It's a big decision</p>

<p>i hope everything works out for you lee!!</p>

<p>JHovah08 - I faxed my documents on the 13th but still have not received a notification. =/</p>

<p>Thanks Hahastupidme!! I hope so too...any mail?</p>

<p>Mr. Tang...did you get a confirmation for your submitted documents? If not, email or call them to confirm, and we'll take it from there...</p>

<p>It's not about the day you send it in, but the day your documents are actually in their office..ya know? Don't panic...</p>

<p>JHovah08, I did confirm the receipt of my documents with them on the 13th as well. They said that my file was complete. Therefore, I am really panicking. =(</p>

<p>still nothing in the mail today :(<br>
don't worry Mr Tang, I am on the same boat as you! I hope we all win win win!!!!!</p>

<p>yay....i fax in my stuff today....finally...</p>
