<p>Recently I have applied to Gates Scholarship and I have summited my application on Jan 16. I couldn’t due ahead of time due to late recommender letter. I have not received a conformation letter. I called the office and they won’t tell me if I have successfully summit my application. I have worked so hard on this scholarship and it means the world to me to win this scholarship. Any idea if you don’t receive a conformation letter?</p>
<p>Hi,
If your recommender submitted his or her recommendation AFTER Jan. 16, then it will not be counted in the scholarship. If this is the case, then it means that your application was incomplete. BUT if everything was completed and submitted on Jan. 16, then it is final. </p>
<p>Everyone who applied should have received a confirmation letter, unless it is somewhere in your junk, trash, etc. I would recheck, do a search in your folders.</p>
<p>Thank you for responding. both my recommender and the nominator have summited their application by jan 15. I went back to check and I can’t find any mail. I guess I have to wait till tomorrow. Thank you very much and if u or ur family member applied, hope they will be selected.</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldnt pin all your hopes on one scholarship. Keep applying. It is a numbers game. You never win everything all the time. It gets easier with every new application you complete.</p>
