<p>people hopelessly clinging to a belief they might be able to still get the app in grim</p>
<p>OMG... 1/14/2008 11:58:34 PM. </p>
<p>I nearly died of a heart attack. Very sorry to those who didn't get the scholarship in on time.</p>
<p>how depressing.</p>
<p>i wrote 8 beautiful essays...just for them.
yes, lesson learned.</p>
<p>Ok ok, after this post I'm really going to sleep. XD</p>
<p>Are you fudging serious? 11:58? You, my friend, is one lucky duck.</p>
<p>Soooo let me get this straight</p>
<p>If it says that it was successfully submitted, but your timestamp is after 11:59pm, what will they do?</p>
<p>O_o</p>
<p>maybe they will be sympathetic, or maybe they will just not accept your app. you should call and ask</p>
<p>i think if it said "successfully" just smile to yourself. </p>
<p>Grim--I don't know what to say....
At least you know kids like me...are in the same boat.</p>

<p>I think you're okay. If you look at the last year's GMS thread, a person submitted theirs in with a time stamp of 12:01 and received the scholarship. Don't worry too much Brittnayy. The worst is over and all that you can do is wait.</p>
<p>This is what the website says:</p>
<hr>
<p>The 2008-2009 Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Nomination Process extended deadline was January 14, 2008. The database is now closed. Nominees who submitted their forms by the deadline will receive notification in March 2008. </p>
<p>The Gates staff will follow the Nomination timeline below:
In February, independent readers will complete an individualized reading and scoring assessment of eligible Nominee.
In early March, Nominees are notified if they are selected as a Finalist or not selected.
In late March, Finalists will be notified if they are selected as a Gates Millennium Scholar or not selected.</p>
<p>All students selected as Gates Scholars will be notified no later than May 1, 2008.
Thank you for your interest in the Gates Millennium Scholars program. </p>

<p>lol this makes me chuckle. Ah well, it's not the end of the world at all. I'm glad I at least tried. And I guess it's my own fault that:</p>
<p>a) I had a MILLION other things on my mind this past week, as well as a chorale tour, and
b) I attend a boarding school where control of the entire computer network lies in the hands of a crazy man who decided that he hated the current server and wanted to revamp the entire system.</p>
<p>Ah well, ONWARD!</p>
<p>nvm, ignore last post</p>
<p>you got email notification hamman?</p>
