<p>oy…reading this thread is making me even more anxious for the final response, but it’s giving me more hope now. :)</p>
<p>thats what CCers do.</p>
<p>i haven’t received a letter of notification or anything and i feel sad. it’s almost the end of march. mid march, really. kinda crestfallen but i should at least keep some hope, right?</p>
<p>offside, i have a question:
WOULD THEY NOTIFY YOU EVEN IF YOU DON’T GET THE SCHOLARSHIP (telling you you didn’t get it)? i need to know it even if i don’t get it so i can move on and send in housing to an in-state school.</p>
<p>hallie, i hope you receive it…</p>
<p>last year I received a letter from Gates saying that I didn’t receive it even though I didn’t apply! I didn’t even know what it was! Regardless, keep your head up. Things will work out in the end.</p>
<p>what organization are u under? cuz i know that OCA sent all the letters out already.</p>
<p>I wonder when african americans are going to be notified, anyone know of any who have already been confirmed??</p>
<p>psionix, notified for what? finalist or winner? I thought all the finalists letters were sent out already.</p>
<p>Students~~</p>
<p>I wish you all the very best! I hope I am typing this late enough so that most will read this tomorrow. . .; ) I don’t want to add anxiety to anyone. I hope you will be happy for her (she posts on this site under another username). </p>
<p>D received notice today, in a letter from the UNCF Welcome to the Gates Millenium Community. Also, enclosed was a letter to send to her university financial aid office.</p>
<p>So, me thinks they are plugging away at sending the finalist letters out, ASAP. Someone told me, not GMS people, the only people who go to second round will become finalist if they are Pell Grant eligible. </p>
<p>I work for a non-profit with little pay, divorced African-American Mom with 1 child. Needless to say, we are pretty happy folk right about now.
Best of luck to all.</p>
<p>it’s just that i havent’ received it and i feel so crestfallen and hopeless. i hope i get it and each day i wait for some kind of notification but none has come. well, if i don’t get it at least send a sign so i’d know to move on with life.</p>
<p>congratulations on the D acceptance…i wonder when the HSF will send theirs out…</p>
<p>All finalists haven’t been notified, turns out its geographic…because people in texas and other western states were notified first. and the lady said Georgia will be notified this week…did the UNCF send out an email or mail?</p>
<p>Congratulations sent! You must be pretty darn happy as a parent. When did your daughter submit her documents?</p>
<p>She received a letter dated March 21, 2006 from the GMS c/o UNCF which is up the street in Fairfax, Virginia. She received notice to fax info on the 13th and faxed the information on the 14th to GMS.</p>
<p>GMS responded via E-mail they received info on the 14th. So they are plugging along. She submitted her original information in August on THE DAY the site opened for submission. She had her nominator, recommender information at end of Junior year in May. </p>
<p>So. . .yes we were a bit overzealous. Now I can “exhale” and Bill Gates is my new Best Friend. . .</p>
<p>hallie06 Call them. . .a few people I know called when they heard about D and received yes or no over the phone or get your mom or dad to do it. It will be a relief to know, one way or another.</p>
<p>wait… they’ve already selected winners out of the second round nominees?</p>
<p>I sent my stuff in on the 17th, so should I expect to hear results soon?</p>
<p>ps. congrats on your daughter’s acceptance. that’s so wonderful!</p>
<p>Its kind of weird to me tho, is it possible that they forgot to email us. I’m trying to look on the bright side but its not working, I’m going to call today.</p>
<p>A GMS Rep. called me the other night and I got allllll excited until I remembered I don’t qualify for the Pell Grant…</p>
<p>CONGRATS sent!</p>
<p>Congrats to sent! and dyx</p>
<p>Hope the best for rest of us.</p>
