<p>So I know that the deadline for the Gates Millenium Scholarship is January 15th, but my dad read in a scholarship book that many scholarships review/make decisions on applications before the deadline so funds run out and it's pointless to apply right before the deadline. Is this true for GMS? Do I still have a chance if I apply within the week before? I'm worried because I haven't started my essays yet.</p>
<p>The GMS program does not do this. ALL of the COMPLETED applications that are submitted before the due date are taken in and reviewed by the readers. </p>
<p>You may have a chance if you apply within a week before… It all depends on how well you write/what you have done, etc. Just seriously work on it! It is not impossible to do!</p>
