<p>her efc is 14k? for an applicant to be accepted, her efc must be below 3750. otherwise, the student is out of luck.</p>
<p>To vega07:
Thank you for replying 
I will ask her what her EFC is. If it’s above 3750, I guess I’ll…wait for a while to let her know, or at least when she hears back from Gates. I don’t know…I just don’t wanna make her cry or upset… :\ She deserves a good scholarship.</p>
<p>our efc was 0 our daughter has been accepted into USC, UCSD, UCSB and claremont mckenna but we have heard nothing from gates. Is there anyway to check online if she is a finalist or anything?</p>
<p>Languages1, I don’t believe you can check online. I think they only send notification by e-mail and postal mail. However, I believe the website mentions notifying everyone who applied whether they were a finalist or not.</p>
<p>I checked the mail today and I was chosen as a Gates Millenium Scholar (Actual scholar, not to be confused with second phaser). I am so excited. Best of luck to the rest of you guys. Hopefully you get your big packets either today or monday. (I applied through HSF if anybody is curious)</p>
<p>did you receive an email?</p>
<p>To Jharrett: Congratulations. I know you and your family must be very happy.</p>
<p>Jharrett: do you remember when you sent your verification papers in?</p>
<p>Just2Fitz: No, I didn’t get an email unfortunately (I might have found out sooner, lol) It comes in the mail in a large packet</p>
<p>naansian: I sent in my materials the day I advanced to the second phase (March 13th)</p>
<p>Jharrett: What state do you live in?</p>
<p>Wow, I should send in my stuff soon, then! Ditto on the questions for Jharrett.</p>
<p>They’ve called my house like 6 times, lmao. XD</p>
<p>I live in Texas.</p>
<p>congratulations jharrett!</p>
<p>this must be a very exciting time for you and your family.</p>
<p>Congrats!! Hopefully I’ll be feeling the same way too.</p>
<p>Wow! Congrats. Hopefully, I’d also be selected. Now I’m so eager seeing as someone as been selected as a scholar.:)</p>
<p>congrats Jharrett!!!
I saw in last year’s thread that the sooner you send your stuff in the faster you get your notification
I sent in everything on the 15th, so I might recieve notification any day now
I’m so nervous now…</p>
<p>congrats Jharrett, btw.</p>
<p>i, too, sent my stuff in on the 13</p>
<p>Yay, I’m so happy to hear you guys sent in your stuff early too. Soon I’ll have some people to have a CC party with :p.</p>
<p>what was your GPA, if you would like to share?</p>
<p>Umm…like a 3.9something unweighted. </p>
<p>Weighted…is complicated. I went to a performing arts school where all acting, singing, and dancing classes get honors weighting and then my counselor is too lazy to convert all my stuff on a 5.0 scale. I have gotten could grades in all of my honors and APs, etc. I am taking 8 this year, so it should be high, but I do not know what it is. Sorry.</p>
