<p>lol, congrats to everyone who’s gotten it this week. I’ve just received mine today in the mail! 
Mine was postmarked the 8th. I guess after they’ve received my FA letter to verify my citizenship on Sunday, they sent it out immediately. For all of those who are still waiting, I wish you guys the best of luck! Don’t worry too much and just hope for the best</p>
<p>Hamman, congrats! Where are you located?</p>
<p>central Texas</p>
<p>Thanks. Well, I have officially given up all hopes.</p>
<p>lol, what?? Why is that? They’re still getting them out, just hope for the best man</p>

<p>yay…nobody answer my question…if we have efc of 0 will they pay for everything or not…</p>
<p>i hope they pay for everything if we have an efc of 0</p>
<p>it doesn’t work just based on your EFC. It depends on what University you’re going to. With an EFC, your parental contribution is probably 0. However, some schools like Brown still require that you pay your own summer contribution. The financial aid policy varies among different schools. It’s best to check with your school. I know Harvard lets Gates cover everything</p>
<p>mr tang! i called they said that they will tell us in two weeks for sure. i submitted everything on april the second. live in texas.</p>
<p>Thanks stargirl08. I called a few days ago too. You submitted your documents on April 2nd? That means that they are just now reviewing it. Don’t panic yet. I, on the other hand, have given up all hopes.</p>
<p>what if we have a efc of 0 and my told my college that I am a gates scholarship…and they said that I don’t need to pay for anything…we gates really pay for it all?</p>
<p>i heard that gates pays for everying except student asset and maybeparent contribution? which will be prolly 0 if your efc is 0.</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHHH i sent my stuff in all on the 8th so i guess that was pretty late… but I can’t help rushing to the mailbox everyday… and being disappointed that nothing is there.</p>
<p>i know what you mean margobargo, i couldnt send in anything because my school decided to hold spring break really late. so my registrar couldnt do anything. and it really sucks.</p>
<p>mr tang. i think you shouldnt worry. dont they send in rejection letters if you do not get it? so until you receive something do not give up!! think tomorrow! tomorrow!</p>
<p>okay nevermind. i shall find the nearest cliff!!</p>
<p>and jump of course, care to join me?</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone that got it!!! I didn’t get it but oh well. That’s life.</p>
<p>mika08, did u get a rejection letter saying that u haven’t been selected as a scholar? sorry to hear that :(</p>
<p>mika…i always wonder…so where are going to college…</p>
