This is just SOOO nerve wracking for those who haven't heard. Has anyone heard but been denied by the GMS?

At this point, what criteria do you think they will use to choose the winners? All they want now are documentations that you have kept up your grades and your family's income, but how do you think they will decide? Oh and good luck to everyone!!!

They weed out the people whose EFC is over the requirement... other than that, I don't know.
