<p>notfications will be coming by mail. i would imagine that we will have to call in for our username, so we would have a gates scholar id? this is nuts</p>
<p>I don’t think it wise to make any assumptions based on this yet…Just wait until they send out stuff by snail mail…</p>
<p>Y would they waste their time giving ids to people who arent scholars its 4 us</p>
<p>Omg i got one too!!! Does this mean we made it!!!</p>
<p>If you check once u log in with ur id it says stuff like the renewal process and in the faq it already talks about the leadership conference!!! So i think we made it!!! Congratulations to those who made it!!!</p>
<p>… has anyone tried to retrieve their username and password?? or is that taking it too far?.. (after getting your ID)</p>
<p>do you guys know if they do it all at once or like by race? if you got it, can you tell us your race?</p>
<p>ahh i got it too!!
and to retrieve your username and pword, i think you have to talk to a physical person on the phone, not an automated machine… so that’s when i hung up and started celebrating :D</p>
<p>hey everyone =]</p>
<p>im new on here… im also a finalist =D</p>
<p>congrats to all the others!</p>
<p>best of luck!!</p>
<p>ahhhhh!! im sooo nervous!! =(</p>
<p><em>question, plz help</em>… for those of you that called, did you press 1 under scholars&alumni??</p>
<p>I got an id and tried to retrieve the username and i talked to an actual person and he said i was still a finalist and notifications would be these weeks</p>
<p>Ok people, lets do what ricey said, name our races. If you got a scholar id then guess what YOU ARE A SCHOLAR. notice how when you call the number it ask: “if you are a current gates millenium scholar or alumni, please press one.” Key words: CURRENT GATES MILLENIUM SCHOLAR. For those of you that did not get it yet, hang in there. I think they are notifying by race because thats how finalist were announced. Also, asians should be last so hang in there. if worse comes to worse everyone should find out by Friday. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Last year, my D was never in the database, but she ended up being a scholar. So for those of you who can’t access it with your social security #, hang in there.</p>
<p>i called but i didnt press 1 because it said to press it if you were a scholar. Did everyone that called press 1 right away?</p>
<p>im hispanic. ahhhh!! i want to know already! =(</p>
<p>to those who got the id</p>
<p>are your last names A-M???
i want to cling onto that last shred of hope that they are going in alphabetical order ;[</p>
<p>Nope. My last name starts with T.</p>
<p>thanks for the quick reply
congratulations all of you who got the ID! :]</p>
<p>but i am still bitter! >;[</p>
<p>Hello! This process causes so much anxiety. I am wondering whether anyone who is Asian had their ss# in the database with his/her last name from n-z?</p>
<p>i’m asian and my number isn’t int he data base…</p>
<p>maybe they are going in the order that you submitted the paperwork…</p>
<p>good luck to all! =)</p>
<p>i got an id so i hope i am a scholar! lol i dont want to get over excited before getting the official YES from them in writing :)</p>
