psychjennyk Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've just recently decided to pursue my Ph.D. at Cambridge and looked at the Gates Cambridge Scholarship. The deadline is October 15th for US citizens. I was wondering who on here its applying/applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomination Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I applied and received an offer of admission from Cambridge. Still haven't heard anything from the Gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faroscience Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I got a phone interview for the Gates (through my department at Cambridge) a few weeks ago, and have an in-person interview (through Gates) scheduled for the end of January.

Horb Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Congrats on your progress! I never applied because they seemed more focused on the sciences than humanities, but I do hope you get it! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomination Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hmm I never got an email with the interview for Gates, but someone else at my uni who is applying to the same program got one on Friday.. looks like I won't be going to England next year, oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hreaðemus Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hmm I never got an email with the interview for Gates, but someone else at my uni who is applying to the same program got one on Friday.. looks like I won't be going to England next year, oh well Aw, well, me neither in that case! At least we gave it our best shot. It's funny, my department at Cambridge accepted me on Nov. 12th, SUPER early - but I guess whatever makes me a good applicant for the program didn't also make me a good applicant for the scholarship. Someday I'd be really interested to see the internal workings of these competitions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
