<p>^r u AA/H ? or asian?</p>
<p>i am hispanic</p>
<p>i got it!
im an aa.
how many finalists ultimately get the scholarship?</p>
<p>a thousand, hence the title gates millennium scholarship.</p>
<p>Congratuations! but when was your mail stamped??</p>
<p>ontheradio – “aa” as in Asian American or African American?!</p>
<p>Anyone know if the transcript you send has to be official or not?</p>
<p>i think so</p>
<p>Yea i just reread the email. It’s official.</p>
<p>You Asian American ppl please just relax. According to last year’s thread, If you qualify for the next round, you will get email notifications in about a week following the other groups; maybe as soon as this Friday, so hang in there!</p>
<p>ok people. i got it yesterday and i’m african-american. ASIANS hang in there you guys find out later. also what percentage of people that are finalist actually become scholars.</p>
<p>UGH why do asians have to be last?!?!
(as you can tell, i’m asian…)</p>
<p>I feel your pain, ricey. 
I have been going e-mail crazy and it is beginning to annoy me. Soooo clooseee to being overrrrrrr. Hmm, it’ll be sad if this doesn’t work.</p>
<p>the notifications are in the same time intervals or they are still sending e-mails notifying about acceptance? =S</p>
<p>ahhh i’m going crazie too >.< my counselor says they notify African Americans first, then Native Americans then Asians, but i thought i read some where in here that Hispanic people are already notified?</p>
<p>Yes, Hispanics have already been notified. Looks like all we can do is wait, wait, wait, wait, and waaaaiiittttt. </p>
<p>fisher – I didn’t really understand your question.</p>
<p>by the fact that I haven’t gotten it yet, makes me sincerely believe I won’t get it.</p>
<p>pgtori – what race are you? I remember in other threads people received notifications later, as well.</p>
<p>fisher - they’re still sending out notifications (i hope!)</p>
<p>are u azn too pgtori?</p>
<p>what I’m trying to say is that if i havent gotten the e-mail that means that I wont get it? or are the Gates people still sending e-mails? What I heard is that they sent it around 2 pm central time but idk if they are still sending emails</p>
<p>I don’t know the answer. I know they go out by race and from there i have no clue. In an old thread, I could have sworn people received word later. I wonder if they have two batches they send out. I wish I knew the answer to that question. :[ BUT, when I called the toll-free number, they send they were sending out a notification letter and I should receive it within a week. Soo, maybe they’re sending out acceptance and rejection letters at the same time this year? Could be a possibility!</p>
