<p>dial 1-877-690-4677, it tells you if the notification has been sent out…also, if at the end of the message it says something about “we have received 0 of 5 supporting documents”, then you are a finalist, if you do not get a message then you’re not a finalist. At least that’s how everyone’s messages have been.</p>

<p>You need you’re registration ID: which is zip code and last 4 digits of phone number, and you also need your social security number.</p>

<p>you can call at any time, you don’t actually talk to anyone.</p>

<p>You’re welcome, I kind of figured that’s how you got confused, (I got confused at first too) lol. And I got my five documents in too!!! Woo-hoo! lol</p>

748

<p>dang, they still don’t have mine when I called</p>

749

<p>They’ll get them in. So who from Texas is going to Baylor?</p>

750

<p>I’m going to UT</p>

751

<p>Haha. What I left int submit? 2 Gates finalist from my school are goof to UT. Another is going to OU. I’m going to BU. Haha. So mojo. Where are you from exactly?</p>

752

<p>I think my dream is carnegie mellon but either RPI, UT, or Baylor. Hey did you get into the honors college?</p>

753

<p>I shall be honest. I just applied to Baylor using the “Baylor Choice Application”, haha. I don’t even think I applied for the honors college, if that’s what you do - apply. I’m just okay going to Baylor regularly. Is there still time to do the Honors College thing? I’d do it. I like challenges.</p>

754

<p>The sad part is that I didn’t apply to UT, which I should have. Haha. Abd Texas Tech. And TCU. Ha. So many opportunities that I “threw away”! Well haha. Did anyone apply to tech or anything? Texas people rock! Woot xD. So wow. All that’s left is for us to wait. Still happy that GMS received all of my documents that I sent in the mail. Good luck everyone. :D</p>

755

<p>Nonno, I did the same! NO ESSAY = <3. But for some reason I got this letter saying I’m in the honors and I can’t remember ever applying unless there was a box “Do you want to be considered for the honors college?” and I checked it. But I can’t remember that and so now I’m like “whut? okay!”.</p>

756

<p>Well thas phenomenal. Haha. I guess I won’t be in it. I don’t kno. Haha. Bur either way. No essay was great. Lol. One of my friends didn’t get in using Baylor Choicr. Idk why. :frowning: Well haha. You etter go to Baylor! When we get gates we can totally go there and hang! (I’m optimisitic about gates).</p>

757

<p>Haha, me too. AND! I just called and got the “5 out of 5”!</p>

<p>SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!</p>

758

<p>Welcome to the waiting game. One of the most enjoyable expeiences you will ever… Well experience. :P</p>

759

<p>i applied to Tech, i also had did this scholarship then i realized you needed like a 3.3 or something to do it lol</p>

<p>Okay something I posted was all misinformation and a reliable source has cleared up any misconceptions about Gates. They do not look at ACT/SAT scores and they are fully funded to cover cost of ALL 1000 people selected. Sorry for any misinformation. I’m embarrassed lol but better to have correct info than worry about rumors right? But if anyone has questions I am pleased to answer.</p>
