And the worrying continues…no mail from GMS today.
Any word yet??
In 2014, the six Gates finalists at my high school in rural NE Arizona received their notifications on April 17th. Three of the finalists were selected as Gates Scholars. All finalists are notified of the outcome. So “no news yet” just means “no news yet.”
thanks @northernAZ
