<p>Hey everyone I’m a finalist as well! I am nigerian american from North Carolina. Congrats to everyone, especially those who are keeping updated on the CC, you guys really want this, and it really shows. I found out this afternoon at 4:42 pm</p>
<p>im a junior and i would love to apply for this scholarship… but does the essay questions stay the same or change each year?? can somebody tell me what they were this years or previous years?? thx</p>
<p>congrats to all the finalists!!
hey does anyone know where to find the “The Unweighted Cumulative GPA Form”. </p>
<p>The finalist email said: The Unweighted Cumulative GPA Form. Please have your guidance counselor complete the GPA conversion form included in the mailing, even if your cumulative unweighted GPA is listed on your transcript. The signed form serves as verification of your unweighted cumulative GPA. (Note: this form is not attached to this e-mail)</p>
<p>you get the form in the mail</p>
<p>Do you guys know if they’re still sending out email notifications for asians?</p>
<p>FINALIST! </p>
<p>African-American male from Los Angeles, CA here!</p>
<p>Obstinate: What time did they send you the e-mail?</p>
<p>I got the email at 1:42 PM PST.</p>
<p>I hope the hispanics start to receive something soon. Very nice job for those of you who are finalists!</p>
<p>Gates Scholar Finalist as well! Congratulations everyone!</p>
<p>Have any hispanics received an email from GMS? If you do, please announce it here and say that you’re a hispanic. I haven’t received anything… 
so sad… CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE FINALISTS!!! :)</p>
<p>i have a major test tomorrow that i CANNOT study for because im too busy refreshing my email :(</p>
<p>if i havent gotten it by now is there a slim chance?? im asian and most other asians in this thread got their notifications around 2pm est</p>
<p>i also read on other threads that some people never get emails, only letters in the mail like five days after the email notifications</p>
<p>i cant wait that long ahhhhhhhhhh! :(((((</p>
<p>Same here ><
I only knew they were sending out notifications because my friend got one.</p>
<p>im also wasting time scouring previous years’ threads</p>
<p>but for those of you who are as desperate as me call
1877-690-4677</p>
<p>its a bit of a relief because you actually know that something is sent but im still super anxious</p>
<p>My bestfriend just got his. He’s Native American.</p>
<p>Native Americans too? Dang.</p>
<p>So I just got an email that I am a FINALIST today! Which made me really excited, but…
when I went to go print out my SAR, I noticed the comment that said I am not eligible for Pell Grant?! I did some research and at
[Federal</a> Pell Grant Eligibility Information for GMS](<a href=“http://www.okstate.edu/finaid/gates/pell_gates.html]Federal”>http://www.okstate.edu/finaid/gates/pell_gates.html)
They say your EFC needs to be 4617.
But my EFC is 4692!! That’s so close! Is there some way they can understand this? Or will I be rejected because my EFC is just a little too high…? I’m so confused and anxious right now.</p>
