Thanks for getting us started! My application is in GAO right now. I applied to the PhD in Education.

Hey! When did you submit your application? I also applied to the Education PhD, though I haven't heard back from the department or Gates. :/

Thanks! I appreciate the support! And yep, the email was sent at 6:27p on a Saturday lol.

District 6 just notified —I’m not a finalist. Sending the best to those who are still waiting!

Can we also keep a running list of who has notified -- both the territories and the districts? Florida -- District 7

This probably doesn't offer any consolation, but it seems the latest they can notify us is Friday, 11/8. It seems regions are required to inform us at least 2 weeks in advance.

I doubt they'd ghost folks. I haven't heard of anyone having that experience--that'd just be cruel. ?

Last year a classmate from New York South found out she was a finalist on Halloween night. I hope they didn't send rejections out that night too.

My friend who applied from Florida found out he was a Rhodes finalist at 9:12a EST this morning. He's in district 7, which includes: Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
