Faxed the supplementary documents: March 17th
Received letter: April 14th (Friday)</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything? I am still waiting to hear back from Gates. Seems awfully quiet around here.</p>
<p>Have you all heard from GMS??? I have not.</p>
<p>when did u send in ur second round info</p>
<p>I sent mine on March 28th. </p>
<p>And I am patiently waiting for my decision.</p>
<p>yes! i’m officially a gates millenium scholar, i got my notice last friday but i live in hawaii so i guess mail always comes kinda late. i’m asian btw. but my question now is how do i log into the gms website as a scholar? do i have to call the gms office to get my user id and password?</p>

<p>Congratulations! I am a 2006 GMS Scholar. To answer your question, you should receive more information about logging on to the website in the next few weeks. You can always email April Rongero at APIASF. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have. Congrats again!</p>

<p>i sent in the info on 20th of march and i didnt get anything, does that mean i am out of the race?</p>
<p>yeah…if you want your username/password…
just call the people and you have to verify
some information so that they make sure
that it’s you…then, they’ll give you your username/password
congrats by the way!i was notified early April…
and i thought that they notified people if they did
OR didn’t get it…don’t think negatively, you still can get it…
good luck to everyone who doesn’t know yet!</p>
<p>YES I JUST GOT IT. I AM OFFICALLY A GATES MILLENIUM SCHOLAR YEAAAAAAAAAA</p>
<p>P.S. does anyone know if Gates pays for Med school?</p>
<p>no, GMS doesnt pay for business, med, or law school</p>
<p>in the letter it said taht it will pay if i pursue in the field of Public health, isnt med school public health?</p>
<p>don’t they have to let people know before May? i’m also still waiting to hear back. i faxed my transcript and letters around 03/20 and my sar 03/28</p>
<p>thanks for replying to my earlier question about the log in id and pw. well, i’ve basically read the entire thread but i’m still a little confused about how gates works, i know it covers student loans and work study but would my mom still have to pay for the estimated family contribution portion set by my financial aid package from my school? i would really love it if it was a complete full ride but i’m a little confused. can anyone offer some help? thanks in advance</p>
<p>“isnt med school public health?”</p>
<p>No, med school concentrates on “private health,” since you are treating the individual and not the whole country. Public health is reserved for those who study the migration of diseases for example, which requires a Ph.D in Biology or Biostats, but not MD.</p>
