Winning the Gates Millennium Scholarship Sweepstakes

<p>Hi, I am going to apply for the Scholarship for 2009-2010. I am going to be a senior this year in high school and wanted to get all the advice possible so I to can become a finalist. I am thinking about beginning my essays this summer. How long should each essay be and for the question about what subject I excel would I have a lesser chance of receiving the scholarship if I write about an actually school subject such as History??? It would be great if any of you could answer my questions! Thanks so much!</p>
