The essays look unbelievably daunting.

I know the essay section is extremely important to letting them know who you are, what is the best possible way to translate that in a essay. I'm freaking out

Do you actually have to be nominated? Or can you just ask a teacher to be your "nominator"?

Can an academic adviser from wan after school program be both the nominator and recommender?

I am so stuck on my essays...I have only three written and almost done with the fourth one (the one about short term and long term goals) and my mom is breathing down my neck to get the application done right now.....

My sister wrote them all at the deadline day and she was accepted...All I need is the scholarship for a Masters, the schools I'm interested in should give me enough financial aid...I would think studying for these SAT II's are more important right now...

I was wondering if a school psychologist could be your recommender?

you're right I'm here writing the essays when I have the SAT coming up next month. :\

ok, so i've been going to the same school since my freshman year and have aced every class since. my gpa was never lower than a 4.0 BUT my school has never offered AP classes. it's a small private christian school, just recently accredited (from guam, btw). when i say small i mean not even big enough to have clubs or an honors program. this is the only part i'm worried about because my academics section is nowhere NEAR the prestige of most GMS scholars i've heard of :/

I'm Middle Eastern / Arab. Am I eligible to to apply? I always have an issue with this race lol I'm also a U.S. citizen if you're wondering.

Peachfuzz, the gates website has really specific details about who qualify.

For self-reporting grades-- As an example, if I took AP US History junior year for both semesters...

Would I just put AP US History, then select "semester" (because we use a semster system), then my grade in the class?

Or would I put AP US History, then "year", then my grade...

Or would I put two AP US History sections and then my grades for each semester?

I hope this doesn't sound too confusing/idiotic. Thanks.
