<p>@eecardell – that was beautiful.</p>
<p>Also, I called and it said my letter was sent on April 20th…I’m guessing this means that I didn’t get it since all of the recipients had their letters postmarked by April 15th…</p>
<p>No email either. You win some, you lose some I guess. </p>
<p>Anyone get a “no” letter yet?</p>
<p>At what time were emails sent out?</p>
<p>Any Asians from NJ/NY hear yet?
I’m starting to get worried :/</p>
<p>Im guessing no email = no scholarship :-(</p>
<p>CAC910 i think u miss heard the call…it says a letter has been sent out …and then says the present date …which is today (20th) and tells you how many of the documents they have received from you… its not dealing with the letter…</p>
<p>To everyone worrying…I am an asain from cal…and to everyone out there…keep your head up…the headquarters for the asians is on the east coast so our letters take time…and dont rely on the emails or what not…trust me…if its meant to be it is…time has not run out for any one…if you have not received a denial, I would best advise you to look at your glass as half full…its the best way…my mail should be here in an hour… I’ll keep everyone updated…But to everyone…and I mean EVERYONE… KEEP YOUR HEADS UP…and good luck</p>
<p>Great point - the glass half full.</p>
<p>An interesting anecdote (as i will use anything to distract me at this point - no mail today either).</p>
<p>In Hawaii - they look at the glass as ALWAYS full. It is either full of water, or some water and some air and some light. It can never ever be empty.</p>
<p>So, the glass is full, always full. And, somewhere there is a window open.</p>
<p>I mean its all we have to hold on to as of now… I hope you get what you deserve eecardell and keep your head up… I appreciate what you point out at hawaii…and how the glass metaphor is perceived… … btw im stalking my mailbox… I might get pepper sprayed by the mailman</p>
<p>i didnt c anythin yet but i called uncf (im AA from NJ)… and they told me that not all of the documents were sent out on the 15th… but as of now everything has been sent… so give it some time… God has a reason for everything.</p>
<p>I got an email this afternoon from AIGC telling me the same thing that was in the envelope.</p>
