@CuteyBrown verbal verification **
@Kethzia13 I was wondering when did you submit your documents? Were they submitted really early before the due date or like really close to the due date?
@2ne1islife I submitted my stuff on March 10th, and my counselor submitted the rest March 21st
Congrats! I’m so proud of you even though I don’t know you. I am anxious.
@Iamsobusynow Aw thank you! I hope everyone on here gets it! Just have patience. I know it’s way easier said than done
@Kethzia13 Congrats!! I’m so nervous. i live in East LA so im sure it will come on Monday. i dont have much hopes though. My SAR verified quickly but the rest of the things were submitted 3/22 and not verified until this Tuesday
@exl028 that doesn’t necessarily mean anything! Don’t give up hope
So you got a large envelope right? Winners get a large envelope right? @Kethzia13
@Butterflyrising Yes, it was a large white envelope
Could someone please send a link to the Facebook page for this scholarship, please? I can’t seem to find it.
@CuteyBrown Search for this in your Facebook search “Gates Millennium Scholars Program Applicant Group 2015-16” and then click join. Some admins will accept you soon! 
@exl028 Same!!! My SAR was verified in 2 days but I sent the rest of my documents on 3/8 and they didn’t get verified until 3/29… Hopefully it doesn’t mean anything!!!
Yeah my documents all got verified last Monday even though I sent it in on the first week of March. I’m really hoping that my theory of, “They verify the top candidates first and then the remainder last” is not true. crosses fingers
Always the bridesmaid never the bride 
@pleaseacceptme99 Does that mean you didn’t get it?
@CuteyBrown I don’t know yet but I feel like I’m not going to get it.
I keep getting to the finalist round of many scholarships but never actually get the award
@pleaseacceptme99 Don’t assume anything. It’s not over until it’s over. Just remember that this scholarship, or any other scholarship for that matter, does not define who you are. So don’t worry about whether or not you get the scholarship, because if we made it this far than we can do anything we set our minds to do.
I agree with @CuteyBrown . Being a finalist means that you made it far. Don’t ever stop giving hopes! You got this! I hate faith in you! Just keep it up.
@CuteyBrown @Iamsobusynow thanks guys I hope we all get it !
