lizzie don't worry about it. many ivy league schools offer full ride scholarships for students who make less than 60000 a year. also, a number of esteemed schools have eliminated loans from their tuition.
your smart. i'm sure you'll be able to exercise these opportunities.

Congrats to those who found out, and sorry to those who didn't get good news! Best of luck in the scholarship hunt!
I faxed some of my stuff and my school mailed the transcript, profile, etc. My school prints the profile on this awkwardly sized paper, I think it's 8.5 by 14, so my GC was like, uhh...we better mail this!
I got a phone call reminding me to send stuff in too. GMS is pretty courteous about reminding applicants. They called me to remind me about the scholarship deadline way back in early December (? I think) too. I was surprised.

Aww guys! Don't worry about not getting this scholarship. It's really not that bad. 60000 kids applied! That's even worse than getting in Harvard!!!
And even if you get in Harvard, you're pretty much on full ride.
So really no worries! You gave your best and that's all you could hope for!

wow that sucks! i'll still stay in school though!
do any of the winners mind posting their stats like GPA, SAT, gender, ethnicity, and maybe a sentence about what your hook was, ex what makes you different from all other applicants!
I didnt win but here are my stats
GPA 3.5 unweighted
SAT 1190
Gender Male
Ethnicity AA
Hook: it doesnt matter i didnt win so i wasnt that different from the other applicants
