<p>There. Wow. You know, considering only 1000 kids are selected - I think its pretty awesome that at least 20 were from this forum.</p>

27

<p>How competitive was this scholarship?</p>

28

<p>They said it was extremely competitive, but they havn’t given out numbers yet. Go to the other thread. I’m too lazy to go look for it. Search for Gates Millenium (they spelled it incorrectly)</p>

29

<p>i know when the scholarship began in 2000 (?), there were over 65,000 applications. Im sure that has increased over the last 5 years.</p>

30

<p>holy ****</p>

<p>that can’t be right…</p>

31

<p>what can’t be right?
That there were that many applications?
He is right though…it was started in 1999 and the first yr the scholarship funded was the 2000-2001 school yr and it is likely that as the scholarship gained more recognition the amount of applications have increased.</p>

32

<p>so yes, statistically it make Harvard look like a sure deal (1 winner out of 10). Gate is now rise up to 70,000 applicants (so 1 winner out of 70)! It do to the HUGE rise in college cost, plus the word of mouth on GMS cause many ppl to know about it and apply to it. However, keep in mind that not all who apply is a highly competitive students so there might be 35,000 applicants who never survise the first reading.</p>

33

<p>where are you guys getting these statistics?</p>

34

<p>Google Gates, etc., and you will find other newspaper articles that refer to those and other numbers</p>

35

<p>i have two friends that got the gate’s scholarship. they will be attending UC Berkeley in California. This scholarship is rather hard to attain because it basically pays for all of your college costs. it’s quite an honor to receive it so i wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. =).</p>
