<p>I received the Gates Millennium Scholarship a little while ago, and I was wondering if this is something worthy of mentioning to the admissions committee. Or should I just simply express my interest in joining? Do things like these even matter?</p>
<p>Yes, that is an impressive accomplishment. Definitely let them know. And express a strong interest in going–the best would be to guarantee you’ll attend if admitted.</p>
<p>zephyr151, what is the matriculation rate for those taken off the waitlist? is it 100%?</p>
