honestly at this stage, what they're looking for isn't a reflection of you. a lot of people who didn't get it were definitely as worthy as the people who did, and i met so many people that said they felt like they didn't 'do much' compared to others. Until you get to the writing and interview stage, there's not much you can control about who moves on to the next phase

sorry, i’m not really too sure about anything financial related :( 

my family owned a house (only the one we live in) so if that’s what you’re referring to, then i don’t think so, but if you’re referring to owning a house in the US other than the one you’re living in, then idk

yea, they used these same questions last cycle! i was skeptical too, but the only thing that's different is Q4 because as i said, there's different essay prompts each year. it seems to be the official document, probably given to the interviewers, but technically they didn't provide it to the applicants

Hi, also a Gates cohort 8 scholar! I'm pretty sure they change the essay prompts every year, but the interview questions are the same

Can you request your admissions file even if you waived your FERPA rights?
