<p>I got into Northwestern too! Got their finaid package today, they’re giving me like 35K. I was like freaking score. Also got in U Penn, BU, waitlisted at Harvard and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Man am I happy. Right now I could be rejected for GMS and I probably wouldn’t care.</p>
<p>lmao. dont say that.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re right, I probably would care alot. Oh well, I guess I have to be prepared for whatever news they throw my way…</p>
<p>yup. im still sitting by my mailbox like a sick puppy…patiently waiting…waiting to pounce…</p>

<p>just called my dad to check if the letter came…NOTHING…I’m getting worried. will it be possible to receive a yes, no, or not yet by phone?</p>
<p>prolly not. just sit next to me on the curb. we can keep each other company.</p>
<p>Yesterday I pretty much assaulted my mailman when I saw him come by outside the window. No letter. Maybe today…</p>
<p>Omg You Guys I Got The Scholarship!!! Omg!!!</p>
<p>im not sure if this is correct but if u call the 1800 line (24/7) and go through as if you’re a scholar (press 1 & follow instuctions)…i think u can check to see if u got it.</p>
<p>Congrats melosyracuse!!!</p>

<p>Ok I just did what someone suggested and typed in my SS # on the gates hotline and it said “WELCOME SCHOLAR…as a Gates scholar you get to…blsh blah…” THAT MEANS I GOT IT RIGHT???</p>
