I emailed them this morning asking about when we will hear back. This is what they said: "We are currently in the process of contacting candidates; you will receive an update no later than tomorrow with regards to the status of your application". Sounds like they will be sending out all rejections tomorrow.

I'm hoping that it'll be tomorrow but I feel like it'll be Thursday. Finalist notifications came out on a Thursday, and Arts + Social Sciences panels released their decisions on a Thursday. It seems like the Gates Foundation really likes releasing news on Thursdays...

oh okay. I was selected as a finalist for the physical sciences panel so maybe there's still hope yet! Thank you for sharing

Congrats! Has anyone else heard back? I didn’t get an email so I’m assuming that I wasn’t selected, but has anyone gotten a rejection email yet?

Does anyone know how many people are shortlisted for interview for Gates Cambridge each year? I've heard that it's usually 2-3 times the number of scholars they pick at the end, but I'm not sure if COVID/canceling interviews changes that statistics.
