Gateway to Graduate School in Biology

<p>I received my acceptance package yesterday and today got an email about this. it says:</p>

<p>I am contacting you because you have been accepted to The College of New Jersey and are eligible to apply for a wonderful new merit scholarship program for incoming Biology or Open Options-Science students. It is called "Gateway to Graduate School in Biology."
I have sent a detailed letter to you in the mail about this opportunity, which you should receive in a few days. I also have attached it to this email. Please open the attachment now and read the letter.
You also will receive a second email with a link to the online application form. Look for it!
Don't ignore this great opportunity - it is worth $18,800 in scholarship money and will provide an unparalleled college experience over all four years</p>

<p>Anyone else get this or know anything about it?</p>

<p>no one else on here got this?</p>

<p>You can read a little about it on their website
[Gateway</a> to Graduate School: Faculty-Student Collaboration](<a href=“http://www.tcnj.edu/~biology/opportunities/ggsb.index.htm]Gateway”>The College of New Jersey | Department of Biology)</p>

<p>but I have not heard anything about it personally.</p>

<p>My S got his acceptance letter yesterday (also biology major) but no email. Are you a minority? According to the website, that is for underrepresented students.</p>

<p>I also got that information, however im not sure if im going to apply.</p>

<p>wait you have to apply for it? how many do they pick vs. how many get invited to apply?</p>

<p>ten get the scholarship</p>

<p>out of how many people that get invited?</p>

<p>no idea how many get invited. probably like 100 do that many minorities apply to tcnj for bio?</p>

<p>yeah prolly around 100 and wait if the applicant gets rejected from the gateway program do they just go into the regular bio major?</p>
