Gates Millennium Scholarship 2013-2014

<p>It says Finalist</p>

<p>Guys, I got an email,</p>

<p>"Dear Gates Millennium Scholars Program Applicant,</p>

<p>Thank you for applying for the Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program. You can check the status of your application by logging onto the GMS application site using the following steps:
Click on GMS Application at <a href=“http://www.gmsp.org”>www.gmsp.org</a>
Click Log On located at the top right side of the page
Enter the e-mail address and password you used to register for the Gates Millennium Scholars Program</p>

<p>If you forgot your password, click the link for “I can’t remember my password” and follow the steps to access or reset your password. Please be sure to check your spam/junk mail folder. If you do not receive the password reset e-mail, please call us at 1-877-690-4677. </p>

<p>Thank you,
The GMS Staff"</p>

<p>I forgot my password and can’t check my status, but most likely didn’t make it but their password resetting processes is horrible.</p>

<p>Congrats to my fellow finalists!</p>

<p>Is there anyway to check for being a finalist without logging into GMS website.</p>

<p>Yup, I’m also stuck with my account being locked. The GMSP application requires an uppercase letter / symbol. I’m guessing I didn’t get it though. To those who received finalist notifications, were you notified in the e-mail or did you have to check online?</p>

<p>By the way, the GMSP servers are probably lagging and the password reset e-mails won’t come for 30 minutes, and if you request multiple ones it’ll null the previous password reset token.</p>

<p>The password tokens might also expire just due to the servers taking forever to send the password reset e-mails.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I did request multiple ones due to me being nervous at the time. However, my email did not mention me being selected or not. If anybody got an email that said that they were chosen inside their email, please answer. </p>

<p>@poptarts152 @kingnabeel12 I received a letter in the mail yesterday and an email today.</p>

<p>@thehomiealan Was the e-mail the same as kingnabeel12’s (above), or did it announce that you received it?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>The subject of my email was “Gates Millennium Scholar Finalist,” and a copy of my finalist letter was posted inside — dated March 3rd. I haven’t received the actual letter in the mail yet, though!</p>

<p>@cynthia808 Thanks. Congrats finalists.</p>

<p>So I guess I am not a finalist :(, my email did not even mention me being a finalist. </p>

<p>Hey guys I was just notified that I am a Gates Millennium Finalist. I was notified on my GMS account. Log in and press the "Application Status. Then press the “Package Status.” It should say FINALIST or Not Selected. How many people are selected as finalists? Does anyone know? </p>

<p>Sorry, but if anyone received an email asking you to check your status then most likely you were not selected. </p>

<p>I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t mention that you were selected or not just in the email. </p>

<p>whoops. See below post.</p>

<p>@GabrielM about 2000 people are selected as finalists. it is then cut in half to 1000 for the actual winners.</p>

<p>Where did you find that out? </p>

<p>Ive been looking everywhere for that @thehomiealan</p>

<p>@GabrielM it’s been mentioned in the threads for previous years.</p>

<p>Oh ok thank you! :)</p>
