<p>Well for me, I knew the call wasn't going to come so I just went ahead and called them myself. They're very nice when they tell you though!</p>

91

<p>I was contacted by email. But in the email it said, "Please excuse this impersonal email, but we are trying to notify students by several methods….faxes to your school, US mail and e-mail."</p>

92

<p>i didn't get :(</p>

93

<p>I received an email and the fax that they sent to my school.</p>

94

<p>This is nerve-wracking! I applied for the RB scholarship. I'm getting nervous, as I now realize the Program is beginning to contact semi-finalists. I NEED the scholarship like none other lol My single-mom made $13,000 last year, that's what was put on my application. I'm glad that financial need is a factor, hopefully that helped me. The thing is, I hope they didn't call because as of right now I don't have a working number where they can reach me! I got a new prepaid phone, which I use and it's out of minutes. My mom and I only have that one phone. I can't add minutes til' Monday. I hope they didn't try to call on Friday! I e-mailed them with the new number though and IF they call next week, I'll get it...but still, I hope they e-mail or something...I'm worried they'll catch my off guard...lol Ahhhh all we can do is pray, right?</p>

95
