<p>Got my letter today. I’m Hispanic but my letter came from UNCF strangely. </p>
<p>Not selected as scholar but I received a full ride scholarship from UMD. You win some, you lose some haha</p>
<p>@Sinaj haha, we won’t 
</p>
<p>@AmbitionMission What state are you from? Congratulations on your full ride!</p>
<p>@rhythmandbible Thank you! And I live in Landover, MD. Fairly close to DC</p>
<p>so if letters are mailed from LA (for hispanics) would we possibly get our letters today, if we live in the same state?</p>
<p>Last year, weren’t they all mailed from UNCF? </p>
<p>So letters are going to both, those who won and those who didn’t? I thought just those that were awarded would get letters and then all would get an email by 21st according to a previous poster. Okay, so no celebration or tears until you actually open the letter. </p>
<p>someone from LA just got their letter today!</p>
<p>@Sinaj, you’ll actually know just by the size of the mail. Selected scholars get a big white envelope (that still fits in your mailbox) and non-selects get a regular sized envelope.</p>
<p>@AmbitionMission I should be getting a letter today too since I’m in Virginia…or maybe tomorrow since I’m closer to North Carolina… Aye Dios Mio!</p>
<p>Just notified from DC! Gates Millennium Class of 2014 Scholar., this is perhaps the best day ever!!</p>
<p>@SwatBoy Congratulations again!!! What’s your ethnicity?</p>
<p>African American</p>
<p>hispanic-american in southern California… no letter yet!
anybody get theirs?</p>
<p>@SwatBoy Awesome, me too.</p>
<p>@Shutterstock Someone from LA did, but since Cali is such a large state, I’m sure there will be some disparity between when different people receive their letters. I’m in Virginia, and I haven’t received anything, while others in Maryland and DC have. Also, it could depend on your ethnic group so…</p>
<p>@SWatboy, what state are you in?</p>
<p>@LanaHere @SwatBoy is from DC.</p>
<p>Anyone from New York heard anything as of yet?</p>
<p>@rhythmandbible Thanks</p>
