<p>im soooo anxious to know...AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>I received notification that I was a Scholar today. This has been an excellent week.</p>
<p>AbZmyster ... congratulations!</p>
<p>Are you Asian, by any chance? East or west coast? And when have you faxed all your required documents?</p>
<p>I'm done with waiting. I have no more engergy for this. It's already making me really stressed.... grrrrr I can't believe that it's taking this long. I was really hoping to have a relaxed spring break after finding out about colleges and scholarships, but NOOOOO, GMS has to be dumb ahhhh sorry I'm just a little angry right now...actually that's an understatement.</p>
<p>So I reckoned that you guys have yet to receive anything either? Well i guess as long as each of us does not receive anything, there is still hope. I worried that you guys would be notified before me. That's when I will drown myself in sorrows.</p>
<p>electrequiem, thanks! I had faxed in the remaining docs by last Thursday. And I'm Nigerian American, from the East Coast.</p>
<p>i want my notification!!!!<br>
im losing my hope...lets just say that i didn't get it....</p>
<p>so no new notifications from asians yet??</p>
<p>Can you guys just relax? Seriously, I feel like some of you are borderline panic attack which makes me worry when I read your posts because I just keep thinking...I hope so-and-so is not home alone...because who will call for help?</p>
<p>lol, there's nothing you can do now, so don't even worry. GMS has 1000 people to notify.</p>
<p>So I just fax in all myself yesterday, and email the guy to see if they recieved it. I also ask him when I will find out, and he said no later than April 15th. I am guessing that is when all the notification will come out.</p>
<p>lol speak_easy, very true ... man, I hope we all receive the scholarship cause I'd love to meet you guys in person at the GMS conferences ... wear your screename on a little "Hi my name is ..." label, would ya? :)</p>
<p>and AbZmyster ... congrats once again. The AAs were notified a while ago, and since you faxed your docs a little late (comparatively) you were notified today. Maybe APIASF is just being lazy.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>"Hello, my name is Speak_Easy."</p>
<p>That's GEEK-tastic.</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard the conferences were really cool! I think the west coast people get to go to LA. haha Speak_Easy, your name reminds me of the 20's.</p>
<p>lmao, yup well my name is Luis Pelayo, I will go to UCLA so if its in LA then great for me, and it would be hilarious to have the screen name </p>
<p>Hello, My name is mosvalublpelayo</p>
<p>If anyone is going to Brown, that's a scholar...let me know!</p>
<p>I live 5 minutes away from brown. I didn't get in, but it's nice to get support from another Scholar!</p>
<p>I like the whole screen name on the name tag thing..lol precious!</p>
<p>Glad to know you guys liked the, as Speak_easy put it, geek-tastic idea :)</p>
<p>just to make sure...GMS covers dorms + books, true?</p>
<p>Hello! My name is AHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>I'm a Gates Scholar and I'm almost certain that whoever advances into the second/finalist round will receive the scholarship.</p>
<p>^^^ Encouraging words Vega07 ... what makes you say so?</p>
<p>Do you know what this reminds me of? the crazy Berkeley email theory "We're worth the wait". It gave me a little bit of hope and then it crushed me hard. I got the email and then I went on here and people kept saying how different versions of the emails meant different thing and my email meant that I got in so therefore Berkeley's decision was "worth the wait". Well, I was flat out rejected, not even waitlisted. So the whole time I was waiting and feeling anxious for what? a rejection? Sorry about the rant, but sometimes I feel like too much optimism can be detrimental.</p>
