  1. If I might add something to the discussion: the $210 million initial donation is not what is directly funding the Gates scholars. Instead, it is the return on this investment that is used for funding. For most trusts, the initial donation is never distributed, so there will always be $210 million at the Trust's disposal, which they invest to earn the funds they distribute. It is likely that the cost difference between funding only PhD's and funding only MPhil's is negligible compared to the effect of the market, so seeking diversity in their scholars plays a larger role when determining the mix of successful PhD and MPhil candidates.
  2. To applicants in the physical sciences: I just received an invitation to interview, so it appears that they are still notifying shortlisted candidates. However, it seems likely that I'm taking the place of someone who did not accept their invitation, so I am not holding out much hope that I am highly ranked.
  3. That's great, Congrats! May I ask which committee corresponds to your field of study (i.e., biological sciences, physical sciences, etc.)? Does anyone know if this means that those of us without a notification are out of luck?
