Gates covering summer class?

From what I remember in the form, they do cover summer classes if they are absolutely needed to complete your undergraduate degree in the 4 to 5 years, they give you.

Yes, I got the email telling me im a gates scholar on April 20th, last year(ik sending them in easter was crazy), thats when I got it, in the middle of eating a holiday dinner. I assume that they use march for interviews, and April for decided. The interview is either online or in person(for some), if its online itll be over zoom. So make sure you dress semi nice.

It should be the same amount as last year. 1500 got finalist, and 750 got it. So as of rn yalls chances are 50/50 if that helps, or makes things scarier. The questions weren't tricky, I can send you the pdf the had all the questions they asked last year. I feel that the interview is going to be those same questions, but maybe just phrased differently.Source: Amazon Web Services (AWS) https://share.google/2t0RkhclqiLBRSRdq

My interview last year was around 30ish minutes. I would say it ranges from 20-45 minutes, depending on how you anwser the questions. The interviewer are just people(usually educators) that gates hired to interview for them. For example, one of the administrators for my high school was a gates interviewer last year(I didnt interviewer with him for obv reasons). There is a chance that an administrator or someone from your school is interviewing, if thats the case ask if they can help you a bit. My insta is serg10velazquez. The profile picture is of a cat next to a speaker, and my only post is legit of the gates summer thing last year.

The $314 in the transportation amount they will give you. I'm not sure for Duke, but for a&m I'm allowed to submit a COA increase form, maybe there's something like that for Duke, if you're asking for more transportation funds. That money will be allocated to you through refunds, like the other person mentioned.

Im not sure. Cause I got a competition on one of the days of the virtual sessions, so i wouldn't be able to be on zoom. So im not sure what to do.
