Did anyone else get an email from Gates that there will not be Skype interviews before of COVID-19 instead they will review the applications and select the scholars?
I think you can hear any time between now and March 13th (the date on the website) because some people might turn down the invites cause they have other plans or accepted offers from other universities or scholarships programs, however, the closer it gets to March 13, the lesser the chance of hearing good news.
I don't think it will affect your Gates but you really won't lose anything by clicking both. I learned from a video on their Youtube channel that apart from the prestige that comes with Gates, the only difference between the two is that Gates pays for your flight at the beginning and at the end of your program. Pretty much same amount of funding
Congrats on your offer by the way!
Congratulations!
If the past years are anything to go by, I would say certainly before the end of next week. Yes, invites come earlier cause they give folks a few days to accept or reject the invites, and let the rest of the people know by mid-march ( March 13th or so).
I am an international applicant waiting expectantly for an interview invite. Any Gates interview tips, suggestions etc perhaps from this year (US applicants) or past years?
