Hi I applied for the Gates scholarship in september and I was looking through it and it has a couple of errors and everytime i try to edit it it won't let me. What do I do? I was considering withdrawing my application and resending it correctly but i need help fast!
How serious are the errors? If they are serious or if you really want to change it, call GMS; don't just withdraw it and resend it without asking them, it seems more advisable to call GMS and ask them what to do first, ask if there is a way to edit your application.
You really need to change your application then. The income of your parents not so important if it's not too off (mine was off from my FAFSA by about $3000) and your first college choice is not important (they know that's liable to change easily) but your SSN is extremely important to have accurate.
Call 1-877-690-5677 (the number on their webiste) ASAP and remember time zones (so if you live on west coast you'll have to call earlier before their office in the east coast closes).
